Harriet Beecher Stowe Center

Learn about the Abolitionist movement and Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Tours of the 1871 Stowe House let visitors see memorabilia and furnishings from the Stowe family, as well as historic documents about 19th-century social issues. Historic gardens, part of what was once Stowe's Nook Farm, surround the area with shade-loving perennials, shrubs, meadow flowers, castor bean plants, and roses. A visitor center now houses the museum store and exhibit gallery. A discount is available to groups who wish to visit the neighboring Mark Twain House.
