Mrs. Stowe's Brunswick Home

Alice May Dayton

Brunswick is the site of Bowdoin College, the bestknown and best-equipped seat of learning in the Pine Tree State, which in proportion to its population has given to the world more than its share of literary men and women. . . .

To this college, Professor Stowe came after a faithful service of seventeen years in Lane Seminary, Cincinnati.

The Titcomb house where the Stowes resided still stands upon Federal Street, one of the most beautiful streets in the village — one which commands a fine view of the Androscoggin River as it silently joins the waters of Merrymeeting Bay into which also flows the Kennebec, and from which a new river issues, as it were, although the new stream goes by the name of the Kennebec and is the river which has made my own native town, Bath, famous throughout the world as a ship-building city. It is hard to find anywhere among quiet scenery any moredelightful view than that of the Androscoggin River, the bay, and the many islands discernible from Federal Street; and a few miles below Bowdoin College one of the finest pleasure grounds in New England, Merry-meeting Park, has been laid out.
