MARK TWAIN HOUSE, HARTFORD





Today I chaperoned a small field trip to the Mark Twain House Museum in Hartford at 351 Farmington Ave Hartford Connecticut 06105. http://www.marktwainhouse.org/

All in all, it was a pretty good tour and there is plenty to see. However, The place, although it looks like they just spent eighteen million dollars on a renovation project, is seriously strapped for cash and is facing bankruptcy.

Samuel Clemens aka Mark twain, was an amazing author who wrote such works as:

The $30,000 Bequest by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

A Connecticut Yankee by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

A Horse's Tale by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Pudd'n'head Wilson by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Tom Sawyer Abroad by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

Tom Sawyer Detective by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (fiction)

What Is Man? by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) (essay)

The sad thing is, its such a great place and the font of the biography of one of America's leading literary giants.
