>>One of the more popular tourist sites in Hartford is the Mark Twain home/museum. I have visited several times. It is on a piece of property adjoining Harriet Beecher Stow's home. If you believe the biography told at the museum, Mark Twain was certainly NOT a racist. In fact he abhored slavery and the unequal treatment of sections of humanity and he used his writings to express those views.

>I was born & raised in CT ... but never visited the Mark Twain home and museum. Kinda strange that our school never had a field trip there ... it wasn't that far away. I *have* been to the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry, but then I only lived a couple miles away from that, on the other side of the lake. BTW, supposedly I am distantly related to Harriet Beecher Stowe ... kinda cool. =0)

Well I was not born here but have lived in CT since about 1985. Lived close to Coventry too... in Tolland for 20yrs, now in Manchester.
