Eventually, because of arthritis and fragile health, Harriet Tubman moved into a home for sick and aged African Americans that she had helped found . It was built on land which she had purchased, abutting her own property in Auburn. She told stories of her adventures until her death on March 10, 1913. She was given a full military burial. In her honor, a memorial plaque was placed on the Cayuga County Courthouse in Auburn, NY. Harriet Tubman is honored every March 10, the day of her death. She is also commemorated by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on that same day. In 1944, a US Liberty ship named the SS Harriet Tubman was launched.
