April at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House

​April at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House looks a bit different this year.  While the new visitor ramp and entrance are complete and the flowers are blooming, our doors are closed to make sure everyone is staying home and staying safe.  We will re-open according to the direction of the Ohio History Connection and the governor. 

Although we are closed to visitors, we have not stopped working toward our mission. We conducted our first Year of the Woman discussion this week via Zoom and enjoyed great success with that format.  We have been posting daily content, videos, and information via our Facebook group – Harriet Beecher Stowe House Community Connection – along with Instagram and Twitter.  We are looking at other ways to stay engaged and connected to our wonderful community of history buffs and social reform advocates.  We are also continuing plans for our Isabella Beecher Hooker exhibit to open this summer. 
 
Financial constraints are being felt across the board.  We recognize that and we are certainly not immune.  I invite you to donate to the Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House if that is within your means.  You can mail a check to: 2950 Gilbert Avenue, Cincinnati, OH, 45206 or simply use the donate button on our website.  

Thank you for being an ambassador for Harriet and her message of freedom and humanity.
