I don't know where to begin. Experiencing history through a house tour like this wholly immersive. Couple that with the huge personality of Samuel Clemens, his pride, his ingenuity, his insecurities, and you can feel the history come alive around you. Vibrantly, you can see him reclining in his study, smoking a cigar. You can hear him and his children playing in the "jungle" after an extravagant dinner. You can commiserate with him during a round of billiards, mourning his late wife. If you have even the slightest interest in literature, history, or both, a visit here is a must.
