There are several buildings and museums to see and they are all done well. Original Norman Rockwell paintings are in the Mark Twain Museum - what a treat!

We have been there before and had a history lesson again.
Our two sons were little when we did this, and now they are grown with families of their own. We would do this again with the grandchildren.
The BBQ at Waynes was really good, especially the Beef Brisket. Very very tender.
The best we have ever had. We would get the beef again. HMMMM!!!

The museum and boyhood home were very interesting. Nice displays and very informative. Good visit for anyone who likes Mark Twain’s books. Gives you a perspective into the basis for the characters he wrote about. There’s also several other interesting exhibits and things to see in Hannibal.

It was so fascinating. You could spend all days if you watched all the movies and read everything. I learned so many interesting things about Samuel Clemens

Excellent information. Got a bit turned around on the self guided tour and close quarters with others when in the houses.I recommend it as a stop on a route to a destination but I do t know if I would make it as a destination spot.

About Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum
Countless readers remember the white fences and riverside scenery described in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But fewer have visited the quaint two-story house where author Mark Twain spent his childhood, gathering inspiration for his famous stories. The spot, first converted into a museum in 1912, was named one of the Top 100 Places to Take Your Kids by Frommer's. Visitors today continue to peruse one-of-a-kind relics from Twain's life, such as his tobacco pipe, his pocket watch, and his Oxford gown. Seven other historic sites surround Twain's boyhood home, among them a museum gallery with 15 Norman Rockwell paintings that depict imagery from Twain's works and the Huckleberry Finn house, the former home of the character's real-life inspiration, Tom Blankenship.
