MARK TWAIN'S HOME IN HARTFORD

This is where Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) raised his family & wrote his novels....such as Huckleberry Finn & Tom Sawyer!  As you can see from the outside the brick was painted to make intricate designs which gave it a very artistic look.  The interior decorator of his house was "Tiffany"....yes yes the Tiffany from NYC!!!

 This was Harriet Beacher Stowe's House. Hartford was the fastest growing cities of its time, and they had an area where well-known readers started a community.

 "I'll be your Huckleberry"

Mark Twain's books were and still are banned in many many schools due to its racial remarks, however the sole purpose of Huckleberry Finn is to confront slavery and racisim...because it was being written during the Civil War era!
