Hartford: Mark Twain Home
Posted on 20. Oct, 2008 by Deb in Just.....Me, Just...Traveling
I am a woman of few words these days. But I do want to share a couple of photos from the first day of my visit to New England. This is the Mark Twain home - where Samuel Clemens wrote many of his most famous works…
The house was amazing. Decorated by Tiffany and crew. We couldn’t take photos inside, but we could outside. The tour guide had great stories. The first date he took his wife on was to hear Charles Dickens read some of his work. I really wish I could have taken a photo of the Billiard Room, where Clemens wrote. His desk faced the wall, by the way. n So he wouldn’t get distracted…
And Harriet Beecher Stowe’s home - who is just next door.
Fall in lovely here. It’s cool and crisp and the colors are so beautiful. My camera just doesn’t do it justice. today we are going to Gilette Castle and tomorrow to Mystic Seaport.
Happy Monday.
