MARK TWAIN's Famous BOYHOOD Home Tour | Adventures Of TOM SAWYER & HUCK FINN Locations 

Very sad how some Mark Twain classic books in CA have been banned. That used to be required reading. 😢

Nice tour of Mark Twain’s boyhood home! Have you seen his home in Hartford, Connecticut? It’s shaped like a steamboat, and it’s where he wrote some of his books- it’s beautiful!

Pres. Teddy Roosevelt's daughter, Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth (1884-1980), remembered Mark Twain's visiting their family at Sagamore Hill. He was quite the character - enjoyed by some & not-so-much by others.

Jordan, this was a fantastic vlog. So grateful you made this visit at Christmastime, when memories of childhood are brought to mind. Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you.

No way!! Wish I would have know you were there - I live 10 miles from there. Thanks so much for sharing this!!

Happy Christmas Jordan, thanks for all your videos. Hope you have a great 2024. 🎉

The ultimate tragedy is that even today Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are banned by some "enlightened" school boards who dwell in a world comprised of Rip Van Winkles. I especially liked the alabaster figures of Mr. Clemens scattered throughout his boyhood home, peering like a benevolent specter over a distant, cherished past.

Mark Twains house in Hartford Ct is quite something, I went a few years ago and it was way ahead of its time

He was a treasure so witty! Have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you for showing us this wonderful museum of Mark Twain❤

Another outstanding vlog Jordan! I’ve said it before, but I always seem to learn more about people and pieces of history from Jordan the Lion just because of the great likability factor and engaging way of telling stories. You’ve got a genuine gift my friend. MerryChristmas s well.

Great video! You should of headed west on Hwy 36 and checked out General John Pershing boyhood home in Laclede Mo. It's a great place with alot of history.

Great video Jordan! Happy Holidays to You, Katie and Jah. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

Mark Twain has some lost media connected to him in the 1890s he recorded about 6 wax cylinders for Sound Scout Gianni Bettinni the Bettini collection was lost due to bombardments on Berlin in 1945. however, quite some copies were made and sold of cylinders from the collection between 1897 and 1908 and some do pop up from time to time and the popularity of Mark Twain was immense so I have high hopes of his cylinders reappearing one day.

How wonderful to take this peek into Mark Twain’s world and the reflection of his wisdom that still applies today, thank you for the tour!

Thank you for this Mark Twain vlog! I really appreciated this.❤

I always wanted to see this. Thanks Jordan for the ride. I appreciate this. Amazing to see original furniture and stuff. I saw the house in Hartford but I really wanted to see this.

Climb up to the lighthouse that's cool too! And the cave but it might be closed to cold!!

Jordan this was a fantastic journey back in time. Very enjoyable I just loved it! Thank you for all your adventures maybe you are theTom Sawyer of our time! Merry Christmas 🎄

hello from Missouri thank you for sharing my home states history about historical figure, and writer Samuel Longhorn Clemmens, that are known as Mark Twain.

I love your American history vlogs . I just watched your Laura Ingalls vlogs a few week ago. Merry Christmas to you and family !!!

That was very cool. How nice that everything is open and in walking distance of each other to take in the entire experience.

This is a great blog I've been to Hannibal Missouri quite a bit Great little city to visit thank you for doing this

You should come to Arrow Rock Missouri. A histroic old town where they filmed the 1972 movie Tom Sawyer.

I really enjoyed this Jordan. Thank you. I learned a lot from it. 😊

I bought the interior goods of a pharmacy and sweetshop laid abandoned since 1910 a jar of cinnamon twigs unused since the 1890s a jar of tartaric acid also not used since the 1910s it's the precursor of malic acid used in sour candies today many medicines too all expired double salty dutch licorice all hard as rocks but still good cane pulled sugar bits and candy pillows all as hard as stone still good!! fermented super sweet juices in pots also still edible! that was a culinary treasure chest!!!!

Loved this vlog. GREAT 👍 WORK Jordan. Your enthusiasm for Twain and Hannibal, Missouri is contagious!

I read both Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. My favorite was Huckleberry Finn. It was a moving story. I need to reread these classic books. Thank you for this historic tour. 😊

HELLO JORDAN ! love all your videos,..always in tacoma washington...

My Brother and I toured Hannibal in 2020. It was a great part of our trip. Thanks Jordan for sharing this Vlog. Brings back a great memory of a great trip with my brother.

Enjoyed this! Thank you, so much, for sharing!

it is a pity they don't have the feather Christmas trees of the 1870s to 1910s which were made of feathers as the name suggests Queen Victoria of England introduced them in the 1850s and because of hem the feather and real pine trees became wildly popular all over the globe.

Jordan I cannot tell you how much your vlogs are appreciated! The information is incredible! Thank you so much!

“Cool historical place” 👍🏻

Thanks that place was awesome

😊 It's funny how we share the some family members Clemens from VA. But only I'm black..😊

What a great tour. Thank you for taking us along.

There was a wonderful bookstore in Becky’s house 30 plus years ago. I could have spent hours there.

I love your tour of the Mark Mark Twain holmes. I love that kind of thing and really can no longer travel far distances because of age and disabilities you brought it to me thank you very much. From another ohioan.

How amazing!!! Only a few hours from us.. thx for sharing!

Cool been there last summer love the shops the boat ride and lookout point think its lovers leap! We ate only 1 hour away in Illinois enjoy great places to eat too!❤😊

As long as we remember they never die, I hope they rest in peace, sometimes I wonder if they're remembered so vividly if they get to rest in peace. Some cultures believe the soul is stolen.

So great! Take care and Merry Christmas to you and yours❤

Look up lock 19 in keokuk Iowa. Story goes that hitler had us on his list

I remember his books but i was too young to remember them. I watched a couple movies too. Thanks Jordan. ~~~LOVE ONE ANOTHER~~~~~Sherry.

This is awesome 🤩

Merry Christmas and happy new year jordan

Gotta go to Hartford and see his billiards room!

Thanks I have always wanted to go there.

Cool Vid. Thank you so much.

This was lovely. I love going through the homes of where people lived. Thank you for taking us along. You stay safe and take care.

Love the different plaster statues! At first I thought they should be painted, but they stand out just the way they are!

what a cool experience!

The house in CT is stunning

Wow when were u there

We were there in July. We want to go back when we have more time to finish exploring the town.

how is Jau doing

Good video 👍👍👍❤

We have a TS/HF Heritage Press Norman Rockwell Edition. The Rockwell illustrations make it really cool.

Great vid!!

Spectacular!

Thank you!

This is cool

Enjoyed

I used to go there as a kid!!! My mom would take us to all the historical places in Missouri during the summers.

Wow

My high school English teacher was obsessed in Mark Twain and his books. Fast forward a number of years, and my husband and I were driving Route 66. We detoured to Hannibal and spent the day there and took a dinner cruise along the Mississippi River. Shoutout, Ms. NANCY Graf!!!

Great vlog Great history of a great writer Thanks Jordan

Great vlog! I spent every summer in Hannibal at my grandparents' house. We would go down and do all things Tom Sawyer and Sam Clemons. They used to have Tom Sawyer Days in the summer. We'd go down by the riverfront and watch the fence painting contests. They had plays as well. It was a lot of fun as a kid. You should have gone to Mark Twain Cave. It's really neat. Across from it is Cameron Cave. The Mark Twain Cave is lit, and the Cameron was not, at least back then. Good memories. Thanks for sharing!

If you head west on 36 and pass through Cameron, Mo., I'll buy ya lunch! Safe travels!

Love Historical places, this was really Cool. Neat how the set up a tour route through everything. 😊

After seeing how he spent his time as an adult, it's really cool to see how he spent his life as a child. He got his pen name from when he was a riverboat pilot. If you read this Jordan, you should go and see his house in Ct. It's very cool, but you have to go online to get tickets. I think the house is Hartford.

Goodness, where are the tourists/townspeople? Is the town really that deserted? Thank you for the tour.

Thanks for a very adventurous video. I read and reread mark Twain’ s books in to adulthood.

Love your videos! Where’s our girl Katie? I love seeing her in your videos!

Awesome! 😊 Thank you, Jordan!

seeing an outhouse brings back memories I'm 49 I'm probably of the last generation of babies who had cotton diapers and a good friend of the family still had an outhouse I was about 8 and me and my sis and I were sleeping over to do your business in an outhouse you had to do several things with no1 you had to take a full scoop of fireplace ashes and throw that in the hole the toilet paper in those days was of a crepe type paper quite rough with no2 first you had to use the rough toilet paper and then take a full scoop of sawdust followed by ashes now everybody smoked those days so cigarette ashes were mixed with the fireplace ashes this had a purpose it smelled and muffled the stench another way was to burn a sheet of newspaper in the ash bucket and throw a bit of sawdust on it. after 2 years the outhouse moved 3 feet to the side so the dug hole now full could be covered by soil and compost which would be used in the garden to grow crops the new site would be the old side of the outhouse 4 years back the compost would be dug out and a special shed was in the garden to keep it and it would be good to feed the garden for 2 years. I think we should bring the outhouse back it's very green and good for the environment we are not conscious of our waste today and how to deal with it many places to clean our wastewater are biohazard sites today, and a lot of nasties seep into the water and pollute our groundwater the outhouse with its use of ash and sawdust neutralizes this and create a solid and fertile fertilizer. when I had a hobby garden house where I could stay over weekends and during vacations I made an outhouse I had tons of ashes from my BBQ and fireplace and I knew a furniture shop that provided me with garbage bags full of sawdust I dug a round hole 6 feet deep 2 feet wide with straw reeds lining the soil I put the outhouse on top and it was ready I had this place for ten years until the site became a hub for drug addicts and the fun was gone since stuff got stolen the druggies had a layer in the form of an abandoned decreped ROV since they were making me go I would have revenge! eh, did I say I had an outhouse?! well, the night I left I filled a 200-liter rain barrel with uh, you know what! from the fresh outhouse hole! and with the help of other people, leaving the place we dumped it all into the skylight of the ROV!! they came running out covered in S! screaming out loud we all laughed out loud!! and left.

Merry Christmas y'all. God bless 🎄 🌟 ❄️

i loved this one i love mark twain can you Zora Neal hurston

I wonder if Tom was related to the man who dug on Oak Island that was his last name

I haven't seen the little dog of yours is he ok?

Joe Nuxhall would be proud!!!

Please the location?

This was cool to watch.

Very cool!

Just found your channel 15 minutes ago.. and the second video I see is you in my hometown.. haha so random. I've been in Hannibal 28 years.

Jordan. At the beginning of the video it looked like a body of water in the distance. I was wondering if it was the Mississippi River and if so how far from the buildings we toured.
