Happy Arbor Day from The Mark Twain House and Museum

Please support the ongoing maintenance of our trees

The Mark Twain House & Museum applauds and celebrates the importance of Arbor Day. We sit on a five-acre site, surrounded by gardens, a treed landscape, and green lawns in our Nook Farm neighborhood in Hartford. We preserve, and make accessible to the public, Mark Twain’s historic home and its surroundings. Please support the ongoing maintenance of our trees, gardens, and grounds and help us mark Arbor Day by making a contribution today. Please CLICK HERE to DONATE NOW!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

The Mark Twain House & Museum is the restored Hartford, Connecticut home where American author Samuel Clemens -- Mark Twain -- and his family lived from 1874 to 1891. Twain wrote his most important works, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, during the years he lived there. In addition to providing tours of Twain's restored home, a National Historic Landmark, the institution offers activities and education programs that illuminate Twain's literary legacy and provide information about his life and times.

The house and museum at 351 Farmington Avenue are open daily 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call 860-247-0998 or visit marktwainhouse.org. Programs at The Mark Twain House & Museum are made possible in part by support from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and the Greater Hartford Arts Council's United Arts Campaign.
