Mission and programs · 2023

• The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is a historic house museum and cultural site that is part of the Ohio History Connection network. We offer a dual time period interpretation focusing on 1840 and 1940. We tell the story of Harriet and the 18 years that she spent in Cincinnati as instrumental in developing her anti-slavery passion and enabling her to write Uncle Toms Cabin. We also tell the story of the houses role as the Edgemont Inn, an African American boarding house, tavern, and community space in the 1930s and 1940s. Through restoration, some parts of the House will look like 1840 and other parts will look like 1940 - furnishings, floor coverings, wall coverings. By sharing the story of abolitionism and equity in the 19th century, we can relate her words and deeds to the Houses role in the civil rights concerns of the 20th century and social justice issues today. 2023 programs include the following great events: Semi-Colon Club - Book Discussion (HBS volunteers serve as facilitators) February, April, June, August and October Power of Voice Discussion Group (John Getz as facilitator)February, March, April, May, September, October, November, December Lecture Series - February - The People who made Madisonville - Chris Hanlin March - Harriet and Grief - comparing Harriets experiences with Uncle Toms Cabin - Perri Klass April - Health by Design: How Infectious and Environmental Disease Shaped the American Home - Elizabeth Yuko October - Pearl of Orrs Island - Cheli Reutter Film Screening - July - A Higher Law: The Oberlin-Wellington Rescue Community Movie Night - September - 42: the Jackie Robinson Story Our educational programming has continued to increase with school group tours, educational outreach,adult outreach programs, walking tours, and hard hat tours.

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
