Open to the public since 1912, the National Historic Landmark home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, is one of nine properties that comprise the present Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum complex.
Located on the West bank of the Mississippi River, the Museum Gallery houses a collection of original Norman Rockwell paintings commissioned as illustrations for a special edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
The museum also hosts regional art and touring exhibits.
