Steve Wariner Drive in Russell Springs, KY. There is no charge and all are invited. Born November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, Mark Twain (originally named Samuel Clemens) penned several novels including two major classics of American literature, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He was also a riverboat pilot, humorist, lecturer, journalist, publisher and inventor. His mother, Jane Lampton, was born in Adair County, Kentucky, where she met Clemens' father, who was clerking at a law office in Columbia, Kentucky. They married and spent two years living in Columbia, KY before moving to Tennessee and eventually to Missouri. With his gift for storytelling and developing unique and interesting characters, Twain single-handedly put American literature on the map. He lived many lifetimes in one, traveled much and entertained many with his particular sense of humor. But that humor was borne on the back of great sorrow and many personal tragedies.
