My husband and I love going to Hannibal it's a great place to go for a weekend getaway and not fly or drive hrs. Also dog friendly which we need since we have a special dog. Recommend to visit Mark Twain's home other places just go enjoy Hannibal Mo

The museum consists of a few buildings in this quiet town. In spite a dozen of other books Mark Twain authored, the Adventures of Tom Sawyer is perhaps the most famous. There is a restoration of Mark Twain's old house, in which you can see how he spent his childhood. It is believed that his childhood shaped his book. I spent two hours in this town learning about this famous writer.

Great set up with the interpretive center and boyhood home. Very explanatory and gave you a feel for Mark twain and the Era. Drug store was closed for renovation and less impressed with Becky Thatchers house. Becky's house felt like it had been completely rebuilt with no original character. Still, we enjoyed our visit and would come again

We had fun. It's a self guided tour that's easy to get threw. Small town with enough sights for a fun family weekend. People are all so nice.

Note: I only saw the museum; not the boyhood home. The museum is fairly small. One can see everything in about an hour. Lower floor has great "interactive" displays. Upper floor has rare Normal Rockwell originals as well as other memorabilia about Mark Twain. Price is right.
