The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

If "all the world’s a stage," why settle for a dark theatre indoors? At the Arboretum, you can stroll along with actors as they move about the grounds, performing scenes from classic stories in different settings.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer depicts the scrapes and adventures of boyhood in St. Petersburg, Missouri in the 1870s. It tells of the childhood adventures of Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn: racing bugs, impressing girls – particularly Becky Thatcher – with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. You may have read the book, now take a hike with Tom, Huck and Becky and enjoy this classic story, as you’ve never experienced it before.
