The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center preserves and interprets Stowe’s Hartford home and the Center’s historic collections, promotes vibrant discussion of her life and work, and inspires commitment to social justice and positive change.
When you visit the Stowe Center, don’t expect a traditional historic house museum! Expect a conversational, interactive tour where you can participate along with your guide.
Of course you’ll hear about everything that compelled Stowe to write her most famous novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin: her childhood, travels, marriage and family, and perhaps greatest of all, her courage.
But you’ll also connect the past to the present as you discuss 19th century social issues — such as slavery and the role of women — that resonate today in the form of racism, mass incarceration, immigration or equal pay.
Are you eager to visit the Stowe Center but haven't had the chance? Join us for our NEW condensed tour, offering a glimpse into the first floor of the house. It's a perfect introduction before you embark on the full 60-minute tour. Discovering Stowe – 30 minute tour Saturday 11:30am & 2:30pm On this condensed tour, […]
