I helped my son move from Spokane, WA to Hartford, CT and despite the weather we made the trip ahead of schedule with a day to spare. We decided to discover Hartford and Mark Twain's house proved to be a very worthy stop. I recommend the guided tour with a fellow named "Dan" who brought not only the homes history to life, but the surrounding Hartford area as well. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience for me.
Living tour was well worth the extra few dollars. Our guide George Griffin played by Tom never came out of character. He made the tour enjoyable and entertaining for children as well as adults. The gift shop had great and unique options.
Second time there in two years, and we aren't local!! Enjoyed it so much in 2016 that wanted to share with my sister that traveled with us in Sept 2018!! They finished a room that wasn't open in 2016 and it was super! The bee wallpaper and details to bathroom were great. Interesting history behind the renovation as well. They changed the museum part of the upstairs as well, could learn more about the family and their pets. Check out this great place of one of America's favorite son's when you are in Hartford CT!!
Great hidden little gem in Hartford! Really enjoyed the home tour as well as the museum next door. Very informative movie also provided. The furnishings inside are really interesting. The stories shared by our friendly tour guide made the tour even better! Definitely recommend spending a couple hours here to learn about Mark Twain and his family!
Living history tour and guide Patrick made our experience in Mark Twain house super informative and fascinating!First of all I am so grateful for the chance to see In my own eyes those amazing house and to caught the experience of just being Mark Twain guest.Also the guide Patrick was the very gentleman and well educated and prepared. The whole tour was like the living experience indeed.Our guide even greeted us in our native language which is Russian. Unbelievable!!!The tour time was about an hour and fifteen minutes. Within this time we traveled through a whole house - three flours and a lot of rooms. Tour tickets cost us $25 per person.I was a little sad though because first, there is absolutely no pictures or filming allowed and of course no touching the things rule.However the stories of great writer Mark Twain was remarkable, because he was very talented and remarkable man himself. Thank you!
