On this episode, Samantha kicks off her visit to the Garden State in Cape May, the only U.S. city designated as a National Historic Landmark.

At the newly opened Harriet Tubman Museum, Samantha discovers Tubman’s connection to New Jersey and how Cape May played a pivotal role in the fight to end slavery.

At the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, Samantha talks with a conservationist about the ground-breaking research that the Institute is doing to preserve salt marshes and their focus on educating the public about the importance of salt marshes and their impact on many eco-systems.
