Twain House makes history again
The Mark Twain House in Hartford has been named one of the 10 best historic houses in the world in a publication of the National Geographic Society.
The third edition of National Geographic Books' "The Ten Best of Everything," edited by Nathaniel Lande and Andrew Lande, lists the house (right) that Samuel L. Clemens and Olivia Langdon Clemens built, and where the family lived from 1874 to 1891, among such buildings as Leo Tolstoy's house in Russia, The Churchills' Blenheim Palace in England and artist Claude Monet's home, Giverny, in France.
The only other American buildings on the list are Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and George Washington's Mount Vernon.
