There is a three-story mansion in Hartford, Connecticut that
was home to a man by the name of Samuel Clemens, but you may know him by
another name. Mark Twain, the author famous for works such as Huckleberry Finn
and Tom Sawyer. The man who created such fantastic tales that fed our
imaginations and breathed life into characters we all could relate to. Twain in
fact created some famous works from the comforts of his home in Connecticut.
Mark Twain resided in this home for 17 years (1874-1891). The house contains bedrooms, nursery, playroom/classroom and more. The top floor included a billiards room and a writing desk. This is where Twain worked late into the nights writing and crafting his literary art. With the home’s beautiful Victorian Gothic architecture and rare Tiffany pieces, it has a charm and wonder about it. Today, the Mark Twain house is a popular museum that many visitors come to check out as they are traveling through Connecticut.
