Mark Twain House Mark Twain House The Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, was the home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and his family from 1874 to 1891. It was designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter and built in the American High Gothic style. Clemens biographer Justin Kaplan has called it "part steamboat, part medieval fortress and part cuckoo clock." Clemens wrote many of his best-known works while living there, including "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "The Prince and the Pauper", "Life on the Mississippi", "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", "A Tramp Abroad", and "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."

It is the oldest operating show cave in the state, giving tours continuously since 1886. Along with nearby Cameron Cave, it became a registered National Natural Landmark in 1972, with a citation reading "Exceptionally good examples of the maze type of cavern development". The cave — as "McDougal's Cave" — plays an important role in the novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) by Mark Twain and was renamed in honor of the author, a Hannibal native.
