Unbelievable property and historic icon of our country. This building is truly a mansion. The detail that was put into building this is just well over the top. Warren & Juan, the owner/operator innkeepers are just amazing people and have the same eye for detail and truly have a labor of love with this building. The building and property is so well taken care of and clean. They have the passion to restore things to as they were originally created. Again the attention to detail and the love these two put into the place overwhelms me and it shows on the tour and the bed & breakfast. When you spend the night here, you are truly spending the night in a museum. Something not much of us can say we have done. So please take the tour or better yet spend the night. But as their website says, take the tour right before you check in. Definitely added to our experience. So when you visit Hannibal and all the things it has to offer down by the river, don't forget to go to the top of the hill and go see the Rockcliffe Mansion. The property and the innkeepers will not disappoint!!

Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center

Reviewed By wandahuber - Mascoutah, United States

Looking at some of the bad reviews, it seems like they're almost all people who wanted to see this place, but weren't able to. YES, it's small. And I guess they have limited hours. I went with a group, and the organizer called ahead and arranged for it to be open for us, and for a docent to give a talk. This little place is PACKED with a lot of history that you won't hear about at the regular stops. I believe it's only been open for 10 years, but they've put together a fantastic museum, with SO MANY stories about each and every item. A must see! Entry fee is by donation.

Haunted House on Hill Street Wax Museum

Reviewed By Fun4US4life - Saint Louis, United States

We loved this little shop! While out touring the streets of Hannibal, we stumbled across this quaint shop with really unique decor! Since Halloween is our favorite holiday, my husband Joe and I were happy to have taken the time to explore the Haunted House on Hill Street Wax Museum. After taking the tour of the museum, we went into the haunted house. Um, I'm not one to be afraid of anything, but this was quite the heart pumping little venture! After gathering ourselves and Joe trying his best to readjust the hoodie he was wearing (because I almost tore it off of him after the scare fest), I found a Madame Alexander doll to add to my collection, some key chains, candles, and other gifts! The owner was very sweet! I can't wait to visit again. However, next time.......... I'll just shop and not go in that haunted house!
