Review:
Hannibal is a charming city in northeast Missouri, located along the banks of the majestic Mississippi River. The town is best known as the home of a number of attractions connected to famed 19th-century American author Mark Twain, known for his classic Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn novels. Visitors can explore the attractions of the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum as part of self-guided tours throughout the year. A landmark chain of caves is preserved as part of the Mark Twain Cave Complex, including caves featured in Twain's novels. The gorgeous 1900 Rockcliffe Mansion stands as one of the nation's best examples of Gilded Age architecture today, operated as a living history museum. Visitors can also attend performances of the one-man show Mark Twain Himself, explore the exhibits of the Hannibal History Museum, or embark on scenic dinner cruises aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat.
