Our trip to Nauvoo included a trip to Hannibal, MO the birth place of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). The following pictures were taken in a park next to a bridge that was dedicated to Mark Twain.
This is a statue representing Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.
Becky Thatcher's flower garden.
This is a plaque on the "old" Mark Twain Memorial Bridge. My favorite paragraph states "A recurring summer problem was the swarming of mayflies attracted to the bridge lights. At times, the pavement was covered 2 inches thick by the insects causing it to become extremely slick. Snow plows were necessary for their removal." Eeewwww!
Tom Sawyer's famous fence.
Becky's house is across the street from Tom's house. It was being renovated so we didn't get any good pictures of the house its self.
