About the Harriet Beecher Stowe House

The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is operated as an historical and cultural site focusing on Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The site also includes a look into the family, friends, and colleagues of the Beecher-Stowe family and the Lane Seminary. The abolitionist, civil and human rights, and Underground Railroad movements in which these historical figures participated in the 1830's to 1860's, as well as African-American history related to these movements,  are a special focus of the House.

The Stowe House offers cultural events, programming, and tours. The house and grounds are also available to groups for rental for meetings and special events. 

Please visit our Bookstore featuring many versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin, other historically based books, books by local authors and more!

The adjoining grounds are maintained by the Cincinnati Park Board. 

Parking lot and street parking available. Additional off-street parking as needed at the adjacent African-American Chamber of Commerce.

Accessible ramp at parking lot. Please note: currently the 2nd floor of the House is only accessible by stairs.

A Concert to benefit the Harriet Beecher Stowe House
Featuring Jay Ungar and Molly Mason and Ma Crow and The Lady Slippers

"The object of these sketches is to awaken sympathy and feeling for the African race, as they exist among us; to show their wrongs and sorrows, under a system so necessarily cruel and unjust as to defeat and do away the good effects of all that can be attempted for them, by their best friends, under it. 
 --Harriet Beecher Stowe Author's preface from Uncle Tom's Cabin
