Brunswick is a charming New England college town that’s been designated as a Main Street Community for its walkable downtown. Home to Bowdoin College, which was founded in 1794, Brunswick is brimming with history. Visit the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the underground railroad member who wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Now a National Historic Landmark, the home and museum hosts “Tea with Harriet” each month. At the 1850’s Skolfield-Whittier House guided tours shed light on what upper middle class life was like in the 19th century. Among other attractions and activities, you can spend time at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art and its collection of over 20,000 objects, or attend one of the college’s many cultural events.
