Mark Twain Brewing Company



Drink for what ales you.


After climbing the hill to the lighthouse, the Mark Twain Brewing Company provided us with refreshing craft beer and food.












Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse



The Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse sits high above Samuel Clemmen's boyhood home in Hannibal, Missouri. Getting there requires climbing a whole lot of stairs.
















Mark Twain's Boyhood Home



Samuel Clemens, the American author and humorist known best by his pen name Mark Twain, grew up Hannibal, Missouri. Clemens' boyhood hometown provided the setting and basis for the characters in his stories about Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.

The home in which he lived as a boy is now part of a museum. Each room contains a statue of Mark Twain with a quote taken from his commentary as he visited the home late in his life.  









Huck Finn House




This house was the home of Samuel Clemens' boyhood friend Tom Blankenship, on whom the Huck Finn character was based.
