The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum may be one of Fort Wayne’s newer historical attractions, but the building is more than a century old. Its unassuming, brick exterior plays a trick on visitors, revealing its sun-drenched interior, bursting through original stained glass windows when the sun sits just right in the sky. Boat Like the museum, its current THE exhibit is modest in size but remark- able, detailing the abolition of slavery through original documents. House Only 14 pages of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s hand-written manuscript of RESTAURANT “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” still exist, one of them on display at the museum.
