Now I’ve played with Legos as a child, building tall multi-colored skyscrapers out of plastic blocks, but never did my creations compare to this Lego replica of Mark Twain’s house in Hartford, CT.

Look at that fine craftmanship!  Can you imagine how much time this must have taken?  It certainly isn’t the work of bored children – the seven-and-a-half-foot long model house was built by Lego master builders at the Eastern States Exposition in Springfield, MA, in front of an audience.  Talk about pressure!  The model is on display at the Mark Twain House & Museum on a long-term loan, but before it took up residence there, it moved around the country as part of a traveling show.

Care to take a guess as to how many Legos there are?

More views of the house can be seen online, but this would also be something to see in person!
