Thank you for your interest in visiting the Stowe Center for Literary Activism at 77 Forest Street, Hartford, CT 06105!
We look forward to inspiring you with the life and work of Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852), a complex and controversial novel that galvanized the anti-slavery movement. Our tours address the history of enslavement and racism in a conversational format, and invite and encourage visitors to make connections between inequities then and now.
If you are participating in Museums for All, Blue Star Museums, are a Hartford Resident, or are using a Library Pass, please reserve your tour admission tickets in advance by first calling 860-522-9258 or then emailing Info@StoweCenter.org.
Our intergenerational tour sparks conversations about justice for all ages, highlighting abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, and Anna Murray Douglass, and exploring Stowe’s legacy of love, family, and freedom.
