Harriet Beecher Stowe -- Houses and Cemetery Plot

Harriet Beecher Stowe Center / House
Hartford, Connecticut

While on a tour of the house, I asked where she was buried. I was quite surprised to learn that she was buried just a few towns away from where I live in Massachusetts.

The following day, we went to the cemetery, and then two days later, while on a trip to Maine, my husband remembered where she lived in Brunswick, Maine, so of course we went there. That house looked unoccupied, and was in dire need of repairs (photo below).

I was there June 14, 2011, the day of Harriet's 200th Birthday Celebration. There were horse rides, music and entertainment as well as free cake available to all.

I love the new (or repainted) shutters. Green is a better color than black.

UPDATE:

"BRUNSWICK  What’s now a closet in the house at 63 Federal St. was likely where Harriet Beecher Stowe let an escaped slave stay for a night in 1850, and a parlor room in the front of the home was probably one of the places she sat down to write “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” a year later."
