Hannibal MO

Our second stop of the day is a 1.5 hour jump to Hannibal MO to hang out with Mark Twain in his boyhood home.

The home stands a block up from the levee, indicated by the water gate in the lower picture, above.

The front door, although entrance is through an interpretive center around the side.

Acroos the street are the “Becky Thatcher House” and the law and Justice of the Peace office of Twain’s father.

Clemens Sr did poorly at whatever he set his hand to, but he retained the title of Judge for the rest of his days.
