This summer, visit the loveliest home that ever was!
The Mark Twain House & Museum is pleased to be able to offer free visits this summer through CT Summer at the Museum. This program allows Connecticut children 18 and under plus one (1) accompanying adult free admission to tours of this historic home.
This offer is available for our daily 9:45am Mark Twain House Tour or our 10am Growing Up In The Gilded Age interactive tour for families with younger children.
Included in your admission, you’ll also be able to view the galleries in our museum center, including our current special exhibition on summer vacation in the Gilded Age, participate in our reading challenge, spend time in our historic gardens, and more!
The Mark Twain House is shown by timed guided tour only. Tours regularly sell out in the summer, so please book in advance.
