Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe was a great American author. She wrote the very controversial book Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a book about slavery. According to legend, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862 he said, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this Great War!"
The original part of this house is still in tack today. There has been additions to the house to make it into a B&B. The front part of the house it where the Stowe family lived while in Brunswick.

This is a plaque that on is the out side of the Harriet Beecher Stowe’s house, the same house where she wrote her book. The house is located on Federal Street in Brunswick Maine. When I went to the house there were a few people around, mainly Bowdoin College students. Bowdion College bought the house a few years ago and made it into dorms and offices for the college. The house has been made into many different things throw out time. It was once a local B&B drawing in people from all over to see where Mrs. Stowe had written her famous book. The house is no longer open to the public, so I did not get a chance to go inside.
