Episode 6 - Hannibal, Missouri: America’s Hometown

January 16, 2013

Hannibal, MO is the boyhood home of Mark Twain and setting for Twain’s classic tales of the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckelberry Finn. Down & Dirty Travel had the pleasure of touring the city in style as Cindy Lovell, The Executive Director of the Mark Twain House and Museum, took us on the Mark Twain Riverboat, inside the Mark Twain Caves, his boyhood home, and the museum. This episode includes excerpts from the double-CD Mark Twain Words and Music, which features Clint Eastwood, Garrison Keilor, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, and tons of other stars. We also have a video on Hannibal so you can see for yourself how quaint and picturesque “America’s Hometown” actually is.
