Yesterday I went to the Harriet Beecher Stowe
house, a house/museum dedicated to the family of Harriet Beecher Stowe. She wrote
the anti-slavery novel "Uncle Toms Cabin" and was famous for teaching
readers the wrongdoings of slavery, and being "The little woman that
started the great war" in the eyes of Abraham Lincoln. I knew a lot of the
facts about her political life through the book, but I did not know a lot about
the basics in the time period or facts about her personal life. Like the fact
that she was a painter, or that she met the queen. I enjoyed going and should
hope to go back soon for the mark twain house.
