I was in Redding last week, and the Mark Twain Library received on March
12, 1998, an 18 acre piece of land known as Jean's Farm. Samuel Clemens
sold this land to use the proceeds to build the building (the Jean L.
Cemens Memorial building) that housed the original library. The family who
donated the land owned it for about 50 years and used it for an artist's
studio as well as a residence. The Family donated the rest of the property
to the Redding Land Trust. I believe that Jean's Farm was part of the
original 200 acres that was the Stormfield "estate".
