The Mark Twain House & Museum

One of the best historical tours I've ever been on (and I've been on a lot)! So much rich history and too many stories to tell in just a 1-hour tour. The property is well kept, and the house is restored to as much genuine detail as could be. Plenty of parking, folding chairs in each room for those who cannot stand for long periods of time, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Tour tickets are a bit pricey but definitely worth it! No photography allowed inside the house, so get ready to take mental snapshots....you won't want to forget!

Great experience visiting this museum. Olivia the tour guide portrayed herself as “Susy Clemens” one of Mark Twains daughters, she did an excellent job, i felt that i was in the presence of Susy herself. She knew a lot of the history and took us back in time.. If anyone is planing to visit the museum, it’s worth spending the little extra fee to have the experience, i highly recommend Olivia as the tour guide, you will learn a lot and she will make you laugh.. The house is beautiful, has so much details and is well maintained.. Simply a great experience!

Sam's butler lead our tour and he was fantastic. A lot of fun and great interaction with the group of maybe 12. No pictures are allowed once in the house. Well worth the price.

We did a guided tour with an actor and it was an amazing experience. I grew up reading his books, so learning about his life and exploring the house had a special value for me. If you're thinking about taking a trip, definitely do it!

Wonderful tour in Mark Twain house. We got the Living History Tour (a little bit more expensive). The tour guy dressed as a Twain’s friend and gave detail history regarding Mark Twain and friends/family dynamics throughout the time. The house/furniture are in great condition. No photography inside the house. It’s a long tour involving going up and downstairs. They are very thoughtful and put out some chairs throughout the house for those who need it. I recommend it when you visit Hartford CT. It’s a good place to learn more about the famous author.

History enthusiast listen up! This was an incredible tour! Our tour guide was super knowledgeable about not only the history of the house but the history of Mark Twain. The house inside is stunning! The smell of old wood and old books is intoxicating! What a lovely way to spend an hour! My children 8 and 15 also loved it!

Great experience. It's a must for any literature, architecture, or Victorian fan. The house is stunning, and the stories and fantastic. No photos allowed in the house! Makes the experience more memorable to be honest. One of the great quoted figures of all time.

We bought tickets ahead of time due to a tight schedule. It was well worrh our time. Tje house ia well maintained. The tour guide did an outstanding job writing the tour and sharing stories that were less well known from the letters between the family members. Beautiful building and you can picture the Clemmens family living here. If you are interested in literature, you should make the journey. Its about his entire life and gives a great view about his love for his family and playful natuee with his daughters.
