SUMMARY:Spirits at Stowe
DESCRIPTION:Spirits at Stowe considers spiritualism as a tool of resistance among radicals and reformers of the 19th century. \nThrough contact with spirits\, radical women claimed authority to speak the unspeakable\, especially the right to full control and autonomy over their own bodies and families. Throughout the tour\, we will delve into the historic\, social\, and political context of the 19th century and explore the role of spiritualism in the lives of reformers\, suffragists\, and Black activists\, including Harriet Jacobs\, Frederick Douglass\, and Harriet Wilson. \nDuring the tour\, the house is “set” to reflect a Spiritualist setting. It takes place later in the evening and is by (electric) candlelight. Participants on the tour will observe and engage with materials and primary sources related to spiritualism\, including a planchette\, spiritualist newspapers\, seance accounts\, and letter excerpts from leading 19th century activists. \nSpirits at Stowe deals with themes such as violence\, sexuality\, and reproductive rights.\nIt is not recommended for children under 13.  \n  \nWhat is spiritualism?  \nBroadly speaking\, spiritualism is the belief that an individual’s awareness persists after death and can be contacted by the living. During Spirits at Stowe\, we discuss the histories of multiple spiritualist traditions in U.S. history\, and how these beliefs helped inspire\, nourish\, and connect politically radical individuals and communities – paying special attention to abolitionism\, women’s rights\, labor rights\, and the intersection among them. \n

SUMMARY:Writing Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Enter Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1870’s historic home\, where we’ll make space for powerful stories from history. \nWhat is a Freedom Narrative? Historically referred to as a “slave narrative\,” a freedom narrative is a true\, firsthand account of liberation by a Black storyteller\, describing their efforts to free themselves from slavery and to build a life in freedom. Thousands of freedom narratives were written\, dictated\, and shared before and after slavery legally ended in the United States. Their creators used the power of their words to speak out against injustice\, assert their humanity\, and record the truth of our nation’s history. \nOn this tour\, we’ll learn about three 19th-century Black abolitionists: Harriet Jacobs\, Frederick Douglass\, and Josiah Henson. Each of these authors had a direct connection to and impact on the writing of Harriet Beecher Stowe\, but this tour focuses on their lives and activism. We’ll have the opportunity to hear portion of their stories\, told in their own words\, and to consider the lessons these stories hold for our own time.

SUMMARY:Writing Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Enter Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1870’s historic home\, where we’ll make space for powerful stories from history. \nWhat is a Freedom Narrative? Historically referred to as a “slave narrative\,” a freedom narrative is a true\, firsthand account of liberation by a Black storyteller\, describing their efforts to free themselves from slavery and to build a life in freedom. Thousands of freedom narratives were written\, dictated\, and shared before and after slavery legally ended in the United States. Their creators used the power of their words to speak out against injustice\, assert their humanity\, and record the truth of our nation’s history. \nOn this tour\, we’ll learn about three 19th-century Black abolitionists: Harriet Jacobs\, Frederick Douglass\, and Josiah Henson. Each of these authors had a direct connection to and impact on the writing of Harriet Beecher Stowe\, but this tour focuses on their lives and activism. We’ll have the opportunity to hear portion of their stories\, told in their own words\, and to consider the lessons these stories hold for our own time.
