Riverlore: A Victorian Mourning Tour

Presented by
Hannibal Expeditions Tour Agency & The Laura Hawkins House

Step into Hannibal’s Past…
Begin with a guided walk down historic Main Street, where scandal and mystery collide and lore runs deeper than history. Next, visit the stately Laura Hawkins House on 5th Street, where Laura, the real-life muse for Mark Twain’s Becky Thatcher, drew her final breath.

Finally, experience the Victorian era, witnessing both the elegance of life and the shadows of death. Observe a Victorian mourning tribute and see how 180Os traditions still resonate today.

Please join us for this unforgettable event.

Mourning Services include a complimentary serving of:
Maywein (Sweet May Wine) or Claret (Dry Red Wine)
Accompanied by an assortment of artisanal cheeses.
