Hartford, Connecticut


David has been to Hartford to attend a conference today.

One of Hartford's claims to fame is the home of the author Mark Twain (real name Samuel L Clemens).  He lived there during the period 1874 to 1891 - the period when he was writing 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' and others of his best known novels.

Unfortunately David didn't have time to visit the house and museum, which looks very interesting.  

At the airport, however, there was on display a Lego model of the house..



It was, apparently, quite a large model - 125,000 bricks - taking almost 18 weeks to design and build.

  1. That is quite some model. The real house looks worth visiting too.
