Awesome!

The Twain Museum House was just great! The attention to detail was unbelievable. Plus, it had sleep number beds and great linens!! It literally is a Mark Twain Museum, but not overdone. The hosts were great to communicate with and seemed very gracious. Great stay!!

Comfortable & Educational!

Not only was the home just as pictured and described - it was even better. Extremely thoughtful touches like charging cables throughout and a comfortable couch. The documentary recommendation and DVD set was a surprising treat that made the other attractions in Hannibal even more enjoyable. Not the shows we had planned to watch, but relaxing and fun. It fit. Thank you for the get away.

Very clean, with everything we needed!

Very nice home, close to everything we wanted to see. Well equipped home, had everything we needed. The binder on the table had information on how everything in the home worked. Also in the binder was a list of local attractions. The binder was very helpful. There was some snacks and drinks on the table, definitely a plus! Overall a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Krewson

I grew up in Hanniibal and worked as a tour guide in Mark Twain and Cameron caves during high school. I am a Mark Twain scholar and historian. I am passionate about Mark Twain and the history of Hannibal. I have created Night at the Twain Museum to honor both. I am also an occupational therapist and own an ergonomics consulting business.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood for the rich history. The house is 400 feet from where Twain's dad and brother (Henry) were originally laid to rest. It's also the cemetery that is referenced in the adventures of Tom Sawyer where Tom and Huck saw Injun Joe murder Doc Robinson and frame Muff Potter. The Haunted Hannibal Ghost Tour spends 20 minutes explorering this cemetery. Twain's boyhood home is less than a mile from our home. You will be staying where Twain spent his childhood. Our home is at the top of a hill. It's private and peaceful, with woods in our back yard. This hill is the location of many of Mark Twain's childhood adventures.
