The Wilks' Residence
At the home of Peter Wilks, Huck's arrival heralded a minor scandal. Two con men traveling with Huck impersonated the dead man's brothers in order to steal his inheritance, but Huck was able to undermine their efforts. Eventually, the con men were exposed, but they managed to escape punishment and continue down the river with Huck. Here, you'll find the grave site of Peter Wilks, along with the large, spacious Wilks home.
