Most things in it we reproductions of elements from his stories, nothing much to see. They charge 9 bucks per person when you could just walk in without anyone knowing anyway. I thought it was extremely boring. The town could be great but its pretty boring, run down and over expensive. more

We had never been to Hannibal, and looked forward to learning more about Mark Twain. I suggest going to a library instead. The museum - which is really a collection of old homes, a drug store and city building - is simply not very good. You walk through the home and learn absolutely nothing about Mark Twain. Was this his... more

The boyhood home and museum featured a lot of interesting information about Mark Twain. The museum is large enough to be interesting but not so big as to be overwhelming, which is important if you have young children. Our children (6 & 8) were intrigued by many of the exhibits, including a life-size raft which simulated the flow of the... more

Fans of Mark Twain will really get a kick out of Mark Twain Museum--great displays bringing his major works to life in full size recreations of woodcut illustrations. Also has lots of memoribilia from his life and his career, as well as art gallery with Norman Rockwell illustrations of Twain's books. The boyhood home is interesting, as well as some... more

We showed up in Hannibal on a Sunday afternoon after a volleyball tournament in Quincy, IL. My 15 yr. old daughter was tired and crabby from playing and her 13 yr. old brother not much better. My husband and I coerced them into going to downtown Hannibal and my daughter was actually the one to pick out the Mark Twain... more

The museum was awesome! Definitely top notch. I'm a museum junkie and I loved all of the information about Twain. It wasn't one of those 'oh look at how charming and wonderful his life was' type of places - you found out Clemens had a hard life as a boy, and you got to read about his real life and... more

Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum was worth going to see. The attractions were all based on his quotes. I thought more history and facts from Mark Twains life would be included. The buildings set up in next to each other were very handy to tour. It was located in downtown Hannibal The town of Hannibal though, outside of the... more

The Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum is a worthwhile stop in Hannibal. It will remind you of the Mark Twain maxims and quotes you learned at school. We found many insights into the writings of Twain, by learning a bit of his background and his times. About a mile from town is the Mark Twain Cave, which served as... more

I was amazed at the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum. The admission people said they had opened all new exhibits in April (I went in May.) The Interpretive Center was great; it actually used quotes from Twain to tell his own story, unlike so many museums that have boring text panels covered with information written by who knows who.... more
