SUMMARY:Mark Twain's Hartford Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Mark Twain’s Hartford House\, 1994. Courtesy of the Mark Twain House \nFounded in 1635\, Hartford\, CT is one of the oldest cities in the country. Following the Civil War it was the richest city in the country\, and author Mark Twain built a magnificent mansion there for his family and lived there from 1874-91. Built in the American High Gothic style\, it was described as “part steamboat\, part medieval forest and part cuckoo clock.” It is where he wrote many of his most famous novels\, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Restored and opened as a house museum in 1974\, it has been named one of the Ten Best Historic Homes in the world by National Geographic. \n  \nJoin the Victorian Society New York for a tour of this wonderful home where we will have a private tour of the mansion including recent restoration work of the Mahogany Guest Bedroom Suite. We will be treated to a lecture on Mark Twain by Dr. James Golden\, the house’s director of education during lunch at the mansion.
