Mark Twain's Cabin, Jackass Hill
Additional Details:
| Mark Twain lived in this cabin for 5 months in 1864-5 as a guest of the Gillis brothers. This replica of the cabin is built around the old fireplace, undamaged when fire destroyed the original building. It was here that Clemens wrote 'Roughing It' and 'The Sage of Jackass Hill'. The hill received its name from the braying of hundreds of jackasses that paused here overnight as they packed supplies to the mines. |
