America’s Hometown Expedition is a one-hour guided walking tour through the heart of Hannibal, Missouri. This experience highlights our scenic riverfront, historic Main Street, and nearby storied streets while offering engaging insight into the people, places, and events that shaped our town and continue to define it today.
While we do adore Mark Twain and he is the reason our town is as popular as it is today, Discover Historic Hannibal also covers others that changed history and the world as we know it.
Guests will gain a deeper understanding of why Hannibal is known as America’s Hometown, from its early founding, its ties to Samuel Clememns and it’s enduring connection with the Mississippi River, along with the people and moments that continue to shape its identity today.
Join us as we REVEAL our immersive past and present, EXPLORE our historical complexities with defining moments, and EXPERIENCE the enduring spirit of a community still shaping legacies we carry forward every day.
