“I will write that thing if I live.”

—Harriet Beecher Stowe, from 1889 biography
Rent Harriet’s Writing Room

Harriet Beecher Stowe put pen to paper to make change. Moved by compassion and righteousness, she thought hard, strategized, and used the voice she knew could have the most impact—the written word in the form of a novel. Stowe crafted a story so compelling it altered how people thought about each other—and helped the abolitionist agenda leap forward.

Do you (or someone you admire) have words that need to be written? Do you require a room of your own to focus your thoughts? Would you be inspired by sharing the same creative space that Stowe herself used? If so, this is the experience for you.

Write that thing you need to write in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s beautiful bedroom, inspired by the woman whose words changed the world. Guests may spend up to two hours in the space.
