This house was on the same complex as Mark Twain's house. We had a different guide and he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well worth a visit. I never realized the book Uncle Tom's Cabin was one of the causes for the Civil War. SO interesting. Sally. The gentleman who took us round was so concerned that he might bore... More

I went a few years ago as part of a college history class field trip. It is interesting to find a great slice of history in Cincinnati.

We had the pleasure of being guided around by the president... More

She was an incredibly strong woman who played an important role in the history of our country when she wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin." My children and I enjoyed learning about her family of origin, her own children, her work, and her motivation. The... More
