Samuel Clemens

For good reasons, Hannibal, Missouri loves to claim Mark Twain as their own. The truth is we share his legacy with many other parts of the country, too. One little known example is a tiny town in the California Sierra Mountains that's named after Samuel Clemens.

If you love all things Mark Twain, I have found a place in Hannibal you've gotta see. It's the most Mark Twain residence I've ever seen that even has a steamboat in the front yard.
