The newly restored Harriet Beecher Stowe House connects visitors to both the pivotal Cincinnati years of the abolitionist author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the 20th century African American pursuit of civil rights. Groups can tour rooms highlighting two eras of the house’s history 100 years apart—the 1840s when Harriet Beecher Stowe lived in Cincinnati as a young teacher, mother and friend of the Underground Railroad, and the 1940s when the house was the Edgemont Inn, and African-American boarding house and tavern listed in the Green Book. Visitors will gain insight about the power of literature in shaping societal perspectives and be inspired by the enduring impact of generations joining their voices for truth. Allow 60-90 minutes.
