Additional Details

Theatrical productions of Uncle Tom's Cabin began just months after its 1852 publication date, bringing abolitionist sentiments to the masses. This one is notable for appearing so close after the Civil War in a border town, at Hagerstown's Lyceum Hall just a few miles from the Virginia line.
