They are absolutely capitalizing on his upbringing here with a museum, statues, and all sorts of structures named after the man who some would call the greatest American writer. Tucked at the bottom of Cardiff Hill at the intersection of North and Main Street, this statue of two of Twain's most famous characters. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn's adventures took place in the fictional town of Saint Petersburg but it was very definitely Hannibal. The statues are by artist Frederick C. Hibbard and worth a stop as you're visiting the city. [Review 19717 overall - 195 in Missouri - 689 of 2023.]

You start with an little pre-video which is cool to see how the cave formed. Still blows my mind to think of how long it's taken to come together as it has. My girls were mildly freaked out at the idea at first, but settled into it once they got in there. It's really cool (literally) as it's 52 degrees year round, so bring a light jacket. Our tour guide was fun, sharing stories and a few laughs. We loved the part where she cuts all the lights and it truly is the darkest imaginable space. You can't see an inch in front of your face. We got the anytime tickets and they were $110 out the door. A bit steep, but it's worth it. There is also another cave called Cameron Cave that's a bit more hands-on with flashlights and crawling, which could be cool to explore. But rest assured, none of that with this one and it's very manageable and fun.

Self guided tour takes you through Mark Twains life as a child, into adulthood and his life as Mark Twain. The primary characters, their reallife references The family home, the family run pharmacy, the judges office and court, Becky Thatchers house are all within a few feet of each other and in the same couple of blocks on the street. Make it an easy walking tour and worth your time. There are a few stairs to the upper floors but otherwise its a fairly easy walk at your own pace tour that takes an hour or so to go through. This musuem is a tribute to the great Mark Twain and his writings, his life before success and the childhood surroundings of Samuel Clemons that formed the works of Twains writings. 4 Stars worth the time and support if you are a Twain fan, history buff, enjoy Americana or literature history in general. 01324

We had a souvenir photo taken before the ride that can be purchased for $10. They have drinks and snacks for purchase during the ride and an overall great tour with plenty of dad jokes and storytelling. It's easy to book a reservation on their website and the place is easy to find with ample free public parking nearby. The things I would like to see improved: The boat is very old and could use a deep cleaning as evidenced by the dead bugs lining the windows obscuring the view. The tabletops were sticky. There was a large wad of gum under one of the tables that I accidently touched. Unfortunately there was a fish kill occurring during the time we went on our ride and there were floating dead fish everywhere. My kid daughter asked the crew about it, but no one addressed it and it left her sad.
