🎉 Happy 190th Birthday, Mark Twain!

Today we celebrate the life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens — better known as Mark Twain — born on this day in 1835. His stories, humor, and sharp observations still shape how we think about America, imagination, and ourselves.

As we honor his legacy, we’re also shining a light on someone who stood beside Twain every day: George Griffin, the family’s longtime butler, advisor, and trusted friend. Griffin helped keep the Clemens household running during its most creative years, yet his gravesite in New York went unmarked for more than a century.

We’re working to change that.
Join us in funding a proper headstone for George Griffin, a man Twain himself praised for his wisdom, wit, and loyalty.

And if you’re local, celebrate Twain’s 190th with us in person at 351 Farmington Avenue in Hartford — the home where he wrote Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and more.

Today is also Museum Store Sunday, so it’s the perfect time to support small museum stores and the museums you love. Enjoy special in-store treats, shop unique gifts, and help preserve Twain’s legacy with every purchase.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Sam.
🎈 Celebrate with us.
🖤 Support the stories that still matter.
