  1. I once visited Hannibal, Mo, and mainly remember the white fence outside the “Tom Sawyer” house (really that of Samuel Clemens, I think). I suspect I was quite a small child at the time, so my understanding wasn’t great. I wonder what it’s like now.

    • The white fence is still there and it’s the inspiration for a fence painting contest held every year during the Fourth of July festivities in Hannibal.

  2. When I worked in the Fairfax district I drove past the Little Red Schoolhouse every day. Someone told me Mariska went to school there, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. I have that documentary on my TBW list!

  3. I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn again early in the summer. I also was asked to lead a discussion on James. Our discussion takes place next week, although several people will be away on vacation. I made a book club kit to go along with James, if you’d like to use it/adapt it for your group. It is here, if you are interested: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14jCGDX7nuamPLYxkQpuPn5Dqvn1QA3dEpDccdbUD928/edit?tab=t.0

    How fun to have Huck and Jim pass right by your town!

  4. That is interesting about the area you live and the history there. Good for you hosting the discussion of the book James. That would be a fun thing to participate in, getting others perspectives on the book and time period.

  5. Somehow I think I never read (or at least never finished) Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… maybe that’s a project for me via Serial Reader at some point!

    The blows to research and science from the current US admin are heartbreaking. I’m glad there are efforts to save that study!
