Harriet Beecher Stowe Center

Fodor's Review:

Stowe (1811-96) spent her final years at this Victorian Gothic cottage, on the Connecticut Freedom Trail. The center was built around the cottage, created as a tribute to the author of the influential antislavery novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Stowe's personal writing table and effects are inside the home.
