Research in Hannibal, Missouri


Hello Everyone!

I’m writing a paper on the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum and it’s portrayal of Twain for my Historian’s Craft class.  For the past few weeks, I’ve just been getting some basic information on Mark Twain from the library. Last weekend I was able to go to Hannibal, MO and actually visit the museum to complete some more research.  While I was there, I took pictures of the different sections of the museum, I interviewed Henry Sweets, the museum’s curator, and I picked up some more sources that I could use in my paper.  My history professor let me borrow a recorder for the interview, so I’ll be able to listen to sections of the interview while I’m writing my paper.  Overall, it was a very productive visit!


 
Have a great week!
