    Mark Twain House

    HartfordUnited States1874

    Located in Hartford, Connecticut, the Mark Twain House was the home of celebrated author Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and his family from 1874 to 1891. Designed in the flamboyant American High Victorian Gothic style, this 25-room mansion is where Twain wrote his most iconic masterpieces, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Beyond its immense literary heritage, the mansion has earned a national reputation as a haunted landmark, with staff and visitors reporting phantom cigar smoke, disembodied footsteps, and apparitions of Twain and his daughter Susy.
