Although Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin while living in Brunswick ME, she lived and wrote in Nook Farm from 1873 until she died in 1896. Lots of the original furnishings of the author's remain in her Victorian "cottage." To find Nook Farm from the center of Hartford, drive out Asylum Street and Farmington Avenue about 15 blocks. Look for the art deco steeple of Trinity Church, and four blocks later, look for the signs on the left. The parking lot and entrance are just beyond the houses, on the left.
