Mark Twain Museum Interpretive Center is where we started our tour of Samuel Langhorne Clemens childhood home in Hannibal, MO.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name, Mark Twain, was born on November 30, 1835, in the tiny village of Florida, Missouri, the sixth child of John and Jane Clemens. When he was 4 years old, his family moved to nearby Hannibal, a bustling town of 1,000 people. 

Sam's friend, Laura Hawkins, was the inspiration for his character Becky Thather

Tom Blankenship's home, a friend of Sam Clemens, who he based the character of Huck Finn
