"...among human beings jealousy ranks distinctly as a weakness; a trademark of small minds; a property of all small minds, yet a property which even the smallest is ashamed of; and when accused of its possession will lyingly deny it and resent the accusation as an insult."

🎃 Halloween visit at the Mark Twain House! We loved welcoming Lily Green and her family visiting from Jamestown Middle School in North Carolina, home to four student “houses,” including one named Twain! We think the “sorting hat” definitely did its job well. 🎩

🎩 “Seems I’ve found my way back to Hartford… though I’m a little shorter than I remember.” Actor Robert Alan Beuth stopped by The Mark Twain House with his marvelous Mark Twain puppet, and together they brought Twain’s voice (and humor) home again.

Mark Twain was born and died under Halley’s Comet, saying he would “go out with it.” Perhaps it’s fitting that his house still brings people together under such cosmic coincidences. Dziękujemy for visiting! 🇵🇱 🇺🇸 #MarkTwain #MarkTwainHouse #Hartford #Connecticut

Some meetings are written in the stars. 🌠 Two colleagues from Warsaw, Poland, met by pure chance on the same tour of The Mark Twain House more than 4,000 miles from home.
