Curator Tour

Experience the Legacy

Audio Transcript, voiced by Curator Henry Sweets

“This house was home to the Clemens family from 1844 to 1853. Young Sam Clemens, the future Mark Twain, grew up here. He had experiences that inspired his later writing, particularly The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Today with a museum admission ticket you can walk into the rooms Mark Twain immortalized as Aunt Polly’s House. Go through the garden just downhill to purchase your ticket and tour our 8 museum buildings.”
