Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum

Top choice in Missouri


This museum presents eight buildings, including two homes Twain lived in and that of Laura Hawkins, the real-life inspiration for Becky Thatcher in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Be sure to check out the Twain-inspired Norman Rockwell paintings at the Museum Gallery before you leave. In summer, an actor gives readings from Twain's writing.
