nice story:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/10greatplaces/2014/07/25/10-best-us-history-sites/13105615/

but Burns does say this about the MT house:

The home's Texas Deck porch is where Twain wrote much of *Huckleberry Finn*
– not in Hannibal, Mo., he notes.

Not sure why anyone would think it was written in Hannibal;  but then
again, I guess I think of it as mainly written in Elmira.  I could try to
check this out on my own, but am I wrong to think most of AHF was written
in NY, not CN??
