Nestled in the beautiful Mark Twain State Park, this tiny museum gives a brief but detailed look at one of America's greatest authors. A short video and a collection of Mark Twain's personal possessions will guide you through his adult life, but the highlight is the birthplace cabin. Afterwards, be sure to get some pictures overlooking Mark Twain Lake.
