The Mark Twain House & Museum
About this place
The Mark Twain House & Museum, a National Historic Landmark in Hartford, Connecticut, was the home of America’s greatest author, Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) and his family from 1874 to 1891. It is also where Twain lived when he wrote his most important works, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , The Prince and The Pauper , and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court . A stunning example of Picturesque Gothic architecture, the 25-room home features a dramatic grand hall, a lush glass conservatory, a grand library, and the handsome billiard room where Twain wrote his famous books. Start your visit at our Museum Center, featuring a permanent exhibition on the life of Mark Twain, a video introduction on Twain produced by acclaimed director Ken Burns, and a rotating exhibit on Twain’s work and influence. Also stop by our Museum Store and the Nook Cafe.
