Located in Hartford neighborhood of Nook Farm, the Mark Twain House was built by Clemens himself in 1873. He commissioned New York architect Edward Tuckerman Potter to design the home and Louis C. Tiffany & Co. to decorate the walls and ceilings. Every corner of the 25-room villa is loaded with royal and beautiful designs.

Paranormal activity

It is said that after the death of Clemens’ daughter Susy, he never returned to Hartford, and sold the house in 1903. It was then served as a boarding school and library before being turned into a museum. Over the years, many people reported some paranormal activities in the mansion. People still claim that the place is haunted by the ghosts of Susy and Twain himself.

Ghost tours

Many paranormal investigators Legend Trips offer a seven-hour tour of the house, which includes dinner, a historical tour of the abode, as well as a full-fledged ghost-hunting excursion.
