President Obama used the Antiquities Act to establish the Harriet Tubman—Underground Railroad National Monument in Dorchester County, Maryland, withdrawing approximately 11,750 acres of federal land from development and directing the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to jointly manage the site. The proclamation requires a management plan within 3 years to preserve historic resources, commemorate Tubman's life, and interpret the Underground Railroad's significance.
