Review:
Located on Forest Street, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center is a historic museum as well as a U.S. National Landmark. Author of the 1852 novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe lived in this house from 1873 until her death in 1896. The 5,000 square foot two-story brick house was built in the cottage style, painted gray, and decorated with dormers and gables. It sits adjacent to the Mark Twain House.
The center contains original objects from the family as well as several documents and letters. The center also has a research library and a carriage house that serves as the Visitor Center. Listed on the U.S. National Register of History Places, the center is open every day.
