What was the name of Mark Twain's final home in Redding, Connecticut?

Mark Twain's final home in Redding, Connecticut, was Stormfield. The Tuscan-style villa was built for Samuel Clemens, Twain's real name, on land he purchased in Redding beginning in 1906.

Construction began in 1907, and the house was completed in June 1908. Twain initially considered names such as “Autobiography House” and “Innocents at Home,” but settled on Stormfield after a storm and in reference to his story “Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven.” He lived there from 1908 until his death.

Stormfield became a gathering place for notable visitors, including Thomas Edison, Helen Keller, and Ida Tarbell. Twain also hosted his daughter Clara's wedding there in 1909. He returned to the house in April 1910 after a stay in Bermuda and died at Stormfield on April 21, 1910.

Readers often confuse Stormfield with the Mark Twain House in Hartford, where Twain lived during his most productive years, from 1874 to 1891. Stormfield was his last residence, while Quarry Farm was associated with his summers in Elmira, New York.
