Jennifer was a considerate, knowledgeable and kind tour guide. She welcomed all questions and responded to them. Her tour of the house was thorough; she knew many details. The knowledge and background she had on Mark Twain, his family, his life and some of his views made the tour memorable. The experience would not have been as outstanding without her. I was surprised to discover an art gallery in the visitors center. Check out the Harriet Stowe center afterwards since it is worthwhile and next door. Both places make visiting Hartford, CT an exceptional experience.

This was a great find on our trip to Hartford. My wife and I are both big fans of Mark Twains works. To see the desk he wrote at and the house he lived in breathes new life and gives color to his works. Unfortunately the interior tours were booked the day we arrived impromptu. We will plan another trip here and schedule a tour of the house. We were able to look in at the arboretum / green house section which looked delightful. A beautiful house and wonderful artifacts. Great memories!
