Nook Farm Book Club

Everyone knows with literati like Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mark Twain in the neighborhood, Nook Farm must have loved talking about books.  The Stowe Center is partnering with The Mark Twain House & Museum for a brand new book club that will put you in the know on all things Twain, Stowe and the topics that had Nook Farm buzzing during the Victorian Era that still captivate us today – politics, social issues, humor, adventure, romance, literature, and more! 

This exciting “First Thursday” event begins February 4, 2010!
