When it comes to historic sites, Hartford, one of the nation's oldest cities, is no slouch, nor, happily, does it lack for accessible scenic landscapes or cultural pursuits.
America's beloved man of books, Mark Twain, is the focus of the Mark Twain House and Museum, a complex that provides visitors with a glimpse of the writer's life and his home on informative guided tours. Follow in Twain's footsteps on a tour that ranges from lavish library to formal drawing room on to nursery, master bedroom, and up to the upper story's billiard room. Associated with the house is a new museum that includes a range of artifacts, manuscripts, photographs and ephemera that relate to the man, his life and his work.
