"The Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Connecticut was the home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and his family from 1874 to 1891. Designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter, the house was built in the American High Gothic style.[3] Clemens biographer Justin Kaplan, has called it "part steamboat, part medieval fortress and part cuckoo clock."[4]
While living there, (often finding a summer refuge for uninterrupted work at his sister-in-law’s farm in Elmira‚ N.Y-Museum site) Clemens wrote his best-known works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper, Life on the Mississippi, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Tramp Abroad, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.[5]
