Introduction
Hannibal is a charming small city on the Mississippi River in northeastern Missouri, world famous as the boyhood home of literary giant Mark Twain. This is where Twain grew up and the setting for his classic novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Strolling through the old streets of Hannibal feels like stepping into the fictional town of St. Petersburg, with white picket fence houses, cobblestone lanes, and riverfront docks full of literary atmosphere. Visitors can explore the Mark Twain Boyhood Home, visit the memorial museum, and ride a vintage steamboat on the Mississippi River. The annual National Tom Sawyer Days celebration in July draws countless literature lovers to pilgrimage and relive the romantic riverfront charm of a nineteenth century American southern town.
