Exhibit: What Does It Mean to Be Free?

This exhibit explores the historical and contemporary meaning of freedom through the lens of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of *Uncle Tom's Cabin* and a passionate abolitionist. Families will encounter artifacts, documents, and interpretive displays that examine how different people throughout history have understood and fought for freedom. It's a thoughtful, educational experience that can spark meaningful conversations with older children and teens about justice, courage, and social change. The house itself offers a glimpse into 19th-century life and the work of a writer who shaped American conscience.
