Mark Twain House and Museum

Wallpaper, woodwork, wit

CT_Mark Twain House_2019-07-19 12.36.56-1

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.
