In other news, Harrington Engineering recently made a $10,000 service contribution to the Mark Twain House & Museum, Harford, CT. The contribution is an addition to the work the firm has performed for the organization for the past 10 years.
“Harrington has been supportive for many years, and we are pleased that they have deepened their support of the Mark Twain House & Museum in the form of a service contribution," says Jeffrey Nichols, executive director of the Mark Twain House & Museum.
Harrington's contributions to the facility include general heating and air conditioning service.

The Mark Twain House & Museum has restored the author’s Hartford home, where Twain and his family lived from 1874 to 1891, when he wrote his most important works, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. In addition to providing tours of Twain’s restored home, which is a National Historic Landmark, the institution offers a variety of activities and educational programs to illuminate Twain’s literary legacy and provide information about his life and times.
