During this time, Twain\u2014born Samuel Clemens\u2014wrote some of his most important works, including <em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn<\/em>, <em>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer<\/em>, and <em>A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur\u2019s Court<\/em>. Guided tours of the 1874 house, designated a National Historic Landmark, are available daily (except for a handful of holidays), with reservations encouraged. Living history tours also are offered, providing an immersive experience in the Clemens household. While on-site, visitors also may explore two exhibition spaces and enjoy the Nook Farm Caf\u00e9 and museum shop.
