Harriet Beecher Stowe House – Ohio Historical Society

Apr
11

The Harriet Beecher Stowe House was built by Lane Seminary in 1833 to serve as the residence of that institution’s president. Harriet Beecher Stowe moved to Cincinnati in 1832 with her father, Dr. Lyman Beecher, who had been appointed president of the seminary. During Harriet’s stay in Cincinnati (she left in 1850), much of her life was spent in or near this house. In Cincinnati she learned about the evils of slavery which inspired her book, UNCLE TOM’S CABIN. Stowe House is operated as a cultural and educational center which promotes black history.
