Uncle Tom Cabin in Md Hideaway Home of Mallet Provosts
Washington Star notes the Montgomery County log cabin tied to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. It chronicles Josiah Henson as the prototype, his 30 years as a slave, escapes to Canada, and his later life including a White House invitation, with local restoration by Lorenzo Winslow and a fireside link to history.
