The town of Hannibal boasts many Mark Twain Sights. The famous Author, then Samuel Clemens, lived there and they think many of his characters and places were inspired by his hometown. It was in view of the Missippi where he used to guide steamboats. I am seen in the mock riverboat - it was soo cool! You could actually see the river from the window. The museum was really cool, and it was also neat seeing all the displays and quotes around his home. I learned a lot about him. It was neat to see places similar to those he described in books and walk the ground that he walked. Our last stop was to Abraham Lincoln's house. Also a nice place.
