Group Visits

A Great Place for Group Touring

The Mark Twain House & Museum invites your group to explore the Hartford home of the “Father of American Literature” at discounted rates.  

• Groups of 20 + will receive guided tours of Mark Twain’s home, and access to the Webster Bank Museum Center at the Mark Twain House & Museum for $17.50 for adults/seniors.  Make sure to book your group tour at least 30 days prior to the date of your arrival to take advantage of this discount.  
• Groups of 10 to 19 persons will receive a $2.00 discount for the guided tour of the Mark Twain House, and access to the Webster Bank Museum Center at the Mark Twain House & Museum.   To take advantage of this discount the reservation must be made at least 15 days prior to the date of your arrival.  
• If you are interested in scheduling a visit for a group of K-12 students, please visit our field trip page and use the form there. We have separate lower pricing available for student groups. 

To ensure our guests receive the best possible experience, the Mark Twain House is shown by guided timed tour only; each tour lasts 45-60 minutes. Each tour can accommodate 14 persons; larger groups will be split into smaller groups of no more than 14 persons. Each tour is led by a trained historic interpreter and encompasses all three floors of the house. The Museum Center is self-guided; it takes approximately 1 1/2 hours to view the orientation exhibit, introductory video, and our special exhibits. A visit to the Mark Twain Store completes your visit.

Please Note: Reservations and group rates are not available on the holiday weekends of Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. If your group is planning to eat lunch while at the museum, you must order catered lunches through the museum when booking your visit; the museum café does not have sufficient supplies to accommodate lunches for large groups of visitors.
