Description
The Mark Twain cabin in Mark Twain State Park in Monroe County, Missouri is a small clapboard home with only two front windows and a plain front door. In this photograph, the roof, porch, and clapboard siding all appear to be in poor shape. Ted Malone and another white man stand on the porch with their backs to the photographer.
