Harriet Beecher Stowe
In 1924, she purchased and lived in the home of her Great Aunt, Harriet Beecher Stowe in Hartford, Connecticut, which was eventually turned into the Harriet Beecher Stowe House museum in 1968. Her preservation work led her to save many structures including the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, the Mark Twain House, and what is now referred to as the Katharine Seymour Day House. All of these building are located on the corner of Farmington and Forrest Street in Hartford, Connecticut. The Katharine Seymour Day House was purchased by Day in 1941 and would eventually become incorporated into the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center.
