A nice stop to learn more about Becky and Mark Twain's stories…read more While visiting the Mark Twain attractions in Hannibal, we also stopped at Becky's Home, which is located directly across the street from the Mark Twain Boyhood Home Museum and the famous white fence where visitors can have their picture taken pretending to paint it. The home has been converted into a museum and contains a surprising number of displays inside. While only the downstairs and the courtyard behind the house are open to visitors, there is still quite a lot to see. Most of the exhibits are geared toward children with interactive displays and activities, but there is also plenty of information explaining Samuel Clemens, the characters from his stories, and the real girl who inspired Becky Thatcher. Even though it seemed to be designed more with families and younger visitors in mind, I still enjoyed walking through the house and reading about the connections between the real people of Hannibal and the fictional characters that became famous around the world. The displays are well done and help bring many of Mark Twain's stories to life. I found it to be a very nice follow-up to both the Mark Twain Museum and the Boyhood Home because each attraction tells a different part of the story. Together they give you a much better understanding of the author, his childhood, the people who inspired his writing, and the town that served as the setting for so many of his books. Overall, I thought Becky's Home was well worth the visit and would definitely include it as part of any tour of Hannibal's Mark Twain attractions. Enjoy!

It's not accessible for wheels due to all the stairs, and some of the spaces are small, where you get to walk into the rooms; but it was a good place to cool down in the heat and learn about history and Tom Sawyer. I toddler did walk into the windows, a couple times that separate the historic items from the walk spaces, but he is fine. I definitely recommend a stop for anyone in the area to learned about Mark Twain in that time.

A different and very interesting look at the life of Mark Twain…read moreWhile visiting Hannibal, we decided to visit the Mark Twain Museum located just down the street and south of the Mark Twain Boyhood Home. I would definitely recommend seeing both because, even though they cover much of the same history, they present the life of Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, in very different ways. The Boyhood Home lets you actually walk through the places connected to his childhood while this museum, instead, uses a large number of well-done displays and interesting artifacts to tell the story of the different parts of his life. The exhibits take you from his early years and stories through his time working on Mississippi River steamboats and his travels overseas. They show many of these experiences eventually became part of his writing. There are some interesting and unique items on display that were important in his life, which helps make him seem like a real person rather than simply the famous author we know from his books. Be sure to go upstairs while you are there. There is some very nice artwork on the upper floor along with additional exhibits that would be easy to miss if you only looked around downstairs. We spent quite a bit of time going through the displays and found it to be an excellent companion to the Boyhood Home. Overall, it was well worth the visit and added considerably to our understanding of both Mark Twain and Hannibal. If you are interested in the author, his books, or American history, I would definitely recommend visiting both museums. After you're finished, I also highly recommend walking across the street to the chocolate shop for a treat. Enjoy!

This was a great experience for me, and my family! We stopped here on our way out of town and…read moreabsolutely loved our 60 minute walk-through the cave. Our tour guide was Avery and he was fantastic! From the middle that we stepped out to take a picture in front of the cave until we exited through the gift shop. It was a great experience. We walked through places in the cave that were noted in the adventures of Tom Sawyer, and through the cave history, including the thousands of signatures in the cave. We also participated in 15 through a pay dirt bag. This space is grade for all ages, and they have ample souvenirs. In the gift shop. We even visited the winery across the street. We look forward to potentially camping there in the future.

We browsed around a little bit and my daughter picked out a few souvenirs. We found Peter outside and he took us on a golf cart to the cave entrance. He gave us each a new flashlight to use on the tour and to keep after we were done. We got a history of the cave and lots of dad jokes as we walked around about a mile in length. Overall Cameron Cave didn't have much as far as exciting rock formations, but it was fun to safely explore a maze cave using only a flashlight with someone knowledgeable. 5 stars for Peter. 4 stars because after all that walking we were hungry and really wanted to visit the winery so Peter graciously dropped us off there after the cave tour. We then discovered they didn't have any food at the winery, but we bought a bottle of wine to take home. There were so many empty tables and chairs. The winery at the complex has so much potential. Wish they also served food.
