The Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, Hannibal, Missouri

After arriving in Hannibal, the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain, I parked the car and ventured into the Mark Twain Museum Gallery which I had conveniently parked in front of (though I had no idea where the museum was when I parked). I paid the $12 admission fee, and was treated to exhibits on Mark Twain's main works of literature, and other miscellany about his life, his works, and his influences. 

After touring the gallery, I headed over to the other parts of the Museum, including his boyhood home, Becky Thatcher's house, the Huckleberry Finn House, an interpretive center, the J.M. Clemens Justice of the Peace Office, and Grant's Drug Store.  All in all, a true bargain at $12 if ever there was one!

Before leaving, I asked a stranger to take a photo of me in front of Tom Sawyer's fence. She happily obliged.
