Fort Sam Clemens on Tom Sawyer's Island

[Adventurer]

When and why was Fort Sam Clemens on Tom Sawyer's Island name changed to Fort Langhorn?

[WDW1974]

^^^Good question. Many original names have gone by the wayside in that part of the MK. Like renaming the riverboat and some of the shops ...

Langhorn was Mark Twains real middle name. Samuel Langhorn Clemons

Ah interesting. That does indeed seem to be correct, although it was spelled with an "e" on the end, but Disney appears to have dropped the "e". Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
