Griffin helped keep the Clemens household running during its most creative years, yet his gravesite in New York went unmarked for more than a century.

We’re working to change that.

As we honor his legacy, we’re also shining a light on someone who stood beside Twain every day: George Griffin, the family’s longtime butler, advisor, and trusted friend.

Whether you join us in person or tune in from home, these conversations promise a rich dive into the worlds behind each book.
