The Boyhood Home has been open to the public since 1912, making it one of the earliest historic house preservations in the country.
Preparation for the Mark Twain Sesquicentennial in 1985 led to installation of the metal viewing platform along the uphill side of the home. A full restoration of the home was planned and occurred in 1990-1991. This included rebuilding two rooms at the rear that had been removed about 1885.
