Mission
We sustain and grow the legacy of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Beecher family’s Cincinnati home, and its time as the Edgemont Inn. We facilitate historical exploration, inspire positive change, and support dialogue about social issues related to that heritage.
 
Vision
The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is a nationally acclaimed historic site, educational resource, and relationship builder, connecting past events to communities today.  
                         
Values
  • Relevance: Connecting the history of the House to people, ideas, and events of today
  • Inclusivity: Embracing members of all communities and recognizing their many points of view
  • Authenticity: Expanding knowledge by valuing artifacts, primary sources, and oral histories
  • Stewardship: Safeguarding the House and its legacy by using best practices for public history, historic preservation, and financial sustainability
  • Working Together: Collaborating with communities to further our mission and empower many voices 
The House is managed by the Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House in collaboration with the Ohio History Connection. For more on museum's founding, check out the 20th century history of the house.
