As a nice diversion to the craziness of life - we made the effort to drive from Indiana to Hannibal MO to see the boyhood home and inspiration for Samuel Clements “Mark Twain”’s Huckleberry Finn Adventures. We are so glad we did! ???? We had a wonderful time. So much to see and do. It took us about 2 hours to see the various sights, houses, displays and interactive exhibits. It’s definitely an amazing reflection on the challenges our country had during the 1850’s - 1860’s. The issues of slavery, treatment of those in poverty and the expectations and experiences of those from refined lifestyles. We learned so much about Mark Twain - that by the time we left - we felt like we had spent and afternoon sitting on his porch and laughing and philosophizing with him. There are some great deals available on GROUPON for discounts on tickets. Otherwise - expect to pay about $15/person. All tours and displays are COVID safe. Masks are recommended as well as social distancing. As in the words of Mark Twain: “Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.” Have a great time ????

A lovely park, situated a few miles from Hannibal, the view of the Great River is magnificent!! Samuel Clemens' form overlooks the river. You can see highways, and woods. It is fall now and the colors are lovely in the forest. An off seas on time, so there were no crowds.
