The best places to visit.

Hannibal is a unique place. It has a wide variety of activities and sites to see. Here is a list of the cream of the crop, the creme de la creme, in other words, if you're in the area check these attractions out.

The New Mark Twain Museum
(573) 221-9010
The New Mark Twain Museum is located on the corner of Main and Center and is a good place to start any trip to Hannibal. It houses 15 original Norman Rockwell paintings that were used as illustrations for special editions of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." There is also a replica steamboat pilot house and several interactive activities as well.

Mark Twain Boyhood Home
(573) 221-9010
The true boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain, is located in downtown Hannibal and has been restored to look like it did when Twain lived there. If you're a fan of Twain, it's worth the money.

Mark Twain Cave and Cameron Cave
(573) 221-1656
Both caves are located off Highway 79, south of Hannibal. Mark Twain Cave is the inspiration for several of Tom and Huck's adventures in Mark Twain's books. There is a 55-minute lighted tour of the cave available. Cameron Cave, on the other hand, requires several guests to carry lanterns on the one-hour-and-20-minute tour. Both caves are beautiful and offer their own sights and sounds. One similarity is that both are cool all year, so bring something to keep warm.
