Support the Mark Twain House & Museum

The Mark Twain House & Museum is turning the corner on its financial crisis thanks to quick action by a wide range of donors and supporters. We are now able to keep the Hartford legacy of Mark Twain and his home alive, but have a way to go, and can only do it with your support. A lively series of events and exhibits is bringing new visitors to the museum daily. We welcome you to contribute to this effort.
