Hannibal Circuit Court

Hannibal Circuit Court is the District 2 circuit court of Marion County in the Tenth Judicial Circuit of the Missouri Circuit court system.

If you've read the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" then you you know who Samuel Langhorne Clemens was or maybe you know him as Mark Twain. At any rate, Hannibal was his boyhood home. Several structures have been retained and refurbished to celebrate this fact. They include Mark Twain's boyhood home & garden, the original museum which is now the Boyhood Home gift shop, the house where the real Huckleberry Finn grew up, the home of Laura Hawkins (the inspiration for Becky), now called the Becky Thatcher House, J.M. Clemens Justice of the Peace Office (where Sam's father held court, Grant's Drug Store (where the family lived briefly), the Museum Gallery, a building featuring interactive exhibits, the Norman Rockwell Gallery, and treasured Clemens family artifacts and the Tom and Huck statue.
