Mark Twain House

| Rooms | 25 |
| Where | Hartford, Connecticut |
The 25-room home where Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn — bee-themed rooms, star motifs, Islamic-inspired art, hidden doors, interiors partly by Louis Comfort Tiffany's firm. Smaller and more authentic-feeling than the Gilded Age mansions, since Twain earned his money writing (and was famously bad with it). A living-history tour is led by an actor playing his butler George Griffin. In Hartford.
