The Real Tom Sawyer Island

We call this the real Tom Sawyer Island to differentiate it from the Tom Sawyer Island at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida and at Disneyland California. The real Tom Sawyer Island is somewhere in Missouri, near the Mississippi River and Hannibal Missouri where Mark Twain chose to be the setting of parts of his famous books, the Adventure of Tom Sawyer.

While the Tom Sawyer Island attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World are glamorous, the real Tom Sawyer Island is a tiny place with very little on it. It does not have a Wind mill like on Disney's version of Tom Sawyer Island which is a lot more fun.
