Trivia: Missouri is home to a national forest named for which famous author?
John Steinbeck
Ernest Hemingway
Harper Lee
Mark Twain
The correct answer is Mark Twain
So why is this answer correct? : Missouri’s only national forest is named for one of the most famous Missourians. Mark Twain National Forest covers approximately 1.5 million acres of land in and around the Ozark Mountains, in the central and southern parts of the state. But while the park is home to a number of notable springs, caverns, and volcanic mountains, it was never home to Mark Twain.
