SUMMARY:Nook Farm Lawn Party
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate summer\, community\, and the legacy of Nook Farm at the Nook Farm Lawn Party\, a joyful outdoor gathering in Harriet’s Backyard at the Stowe Center for Literary Activism. Held as part of the 22nd Annual Connecticut Open House Day\, the event is presented in partnership with the Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association and the Mark Twain House & Museum\, inviting neighbors and visitors alike to explore\, connect\, and celebrate the spirit of activism and community that has long defined this historic neighborhood. \nEnjoy an afternoon filled with lawn games\, crafts\, and hands-on activities for all ages\, along with complimentary food and opportunities to meet and learn from local social justice organizations tabling throughout the space. Guests can also take advantage of free station tours inside both the Harriet Beecher Stowe House and the Mark Twain House\, offering a chance to experience two of Connecticut’s most important literary landmarks. \nEach year\, Connecticut Open House Day falls near the birthdays of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Josiah Henson\, giving us a meaningful opportunity to celebrate their enduring legacies and the powerful connections between literature\, freedom\, and social change. This year’s gathering is especially meaningful as we also honor the 150th anniversary of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer\, alongside Harriet’s 215th birthday and Josiah’s 237th—marking a powerful convergence of literary and activist histories. \nAs Connecticut looks ahead to America 250\, this celebration offers a vibrant and community-centered way to begin commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary—grounded in the stories\, voices\, and activism that have shaped American history and continue to inspire its future. \nBring your family\, invite a friend\, and join us for an afternoon of community\, history\, and celebration in the heart of Nook Farm. \nThis project is supported by funding from the Community Investment Fund 2030 (Round 5)\, administered by the State of Connecticut.
