Once the home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens and his family between the years of 1874 and 1891, the Mark Twain House is located in Hartford, Connecticut, and showcases the life and career of the famous author Mark Twain.

Designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter and built in the American high Gothic style, the beautifully restored home is a museum dedicated to one of the nation's defining cultural figures.

The museum chronicles his life and works, including the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, which he wrote while living there.

A designated National Historic Landmark, the museum also offers a range of educational activities and workshops that illuminate Twain’s literary legacy as well as guided tours of the facility.
