Twain wrote his most important works during the years he lived there, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. In addition to providing tours of Twain’s restored home, a National Historic Landmark, the institution offers activities and educational programs that illuminate Twain’s literary legacy and provide information about his life and times.

First presented in 2016, the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award honors a work of fiction from the previous calendar that speaks with an “American Voice” about American experiences.

The award carries a $25,000 cash prize underwritten by bestselling author and trustee of the Mark Twain House and Museum, David Baldacci.

At Rogers Orchards we understand that farmers need to be responsible stewards of the land. For this reason, we practice IPM (Integrated Pest Management) and are certified Eco Apple & Eco Peach growers. Additionally, we provide many grocery stores in the state with the fresh, local fruit, giving Connecticut residents the opportunity to make the responsible --- and delicious --- decision to eat local. Find our products at a Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Stop & Shop or ShopRite and Geissler's near you, or visit one of our two retail locations in Southington.

Chauncey Merriman, an early settler of Southington and a veteran of the Revolutionary War, purchases a farm from Ebenezer Evans on the southern end of Shuttle Meadow Lake. They begin to farm the land that is now known as Rogers Orchards.

Anson Merriman and wife Jerusha take a risk by planting 1,000 Baldwin apple trees, knowing nothing of their market value. Anson also plants an acre of cucumbers, intending to start a pickle business. His efforts earn him the nickname "Old Pickles".

Josiah and his wife Anna maintain what at the time was the largest apple orchard in the state. A leading horticulturist, Josiah served as President of the Connecticut Pomological Society. His daughter Sarah would marry Elijah Rogers, giving the farm it's current namesake.

Elijah and Sarah Rogers dare to plant 7,000 peach trees, one of the first farmers in Connecticut to grow peaches on such a scale. Elijah served in the General Assembly in 1907 and United States Senate in 1921, where he was made chairman of the committee on agricuture.
