Hannibal, Mo., is a 'holy land' for Mark Twain fans (Via USA Today)

Via USA Today:

By Cheryl Wittenauer, Associated Press Writer

Last year Hannibal welcomed 300,000 people, 60,000 of them to the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum. While the town also offers river cruises, cave tours and enough other attractions for a two-day visit

And officials hope even more literary pilgrims will come this year to mark the centenary of the author's death and see the place that inspired Twain's masterpieces, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
