Mark Twain House and Museum
Wallpaper, woodwork, wit
America’s mustachioed satirist Sam Clemens aka Mark Twain wrote his most famous works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court in his now-tourable Gothic mansion.
Think maximalist wallpaper & notched woodwork.
Room names are the perfect inspiration for a murder-mystery: the bee room, the conservatory, the billiard room.
Finally, admire the good Victorian plumbing. Clemens was obsessed with it.
