Are Your Students Ready to be Inspired?

2021 student programs at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House

Are your students ready to be inspired? Do they know that one of the most influential authors on the globe was once a 20-something teacher, magazine writer, and mom in Cincinnati?

The Harriet Beecher Stowe House offers two standards-based programs for Junior High and High School Students. Both of these programs can be delivered in the format that is best for you:

• Field trip at the historic site
• Outreach program in your classroom
• Virtually with live Q&A.
