THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN with Robert Beuth

This production is a faithful adaptation of Twain’s classic novel, presented in a highly theatrical and innovative way by master puppet and mask-maker Robert Beuth. Come journey down the Mississippi River with Huck and Jim and meet the colorful characters they encounter along the way! Over 17 masks and puppets are used in this production, along with a visual ‘cranky’ to help guide us as we float down the river. Please note that this show is appropriate for ages 12 and up.

The museum is currently open 7 days a week from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Final tours begin at 3:15 PM ET.

Mark Twain is one of our nation's defining cultural figures.

The Mark Twain House & Museum has restored the author’s Hartford, Connecticut, home, where the author and his family lived from 1874 to 1891. Twain wrote his most important works during the years he lived there, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. In addition to providing tours of Twain’s restored home, a National Historic Landmark, the institution offers activities and educational programs that illuminate Twain’s literary legacy and provide information about his life and times.
