8/7/21

Not far from Corning is Elmira, NY where the Elmira College is located. On this beautiful campus is the Study used by Mark Twain, where he wrote some of his most famous works.

The study was a gift from his brother and sister-in-law, Sarah & Theodore Crane in 1874 and sat about 100 yards from the main house at Quarry Farm on a knoll overlooking the Chemung River Valley.

In 1952, the Mark Twain Study was moved from Quarry Farm to the Elmira College campus. The Study is staffed by trained student guides daily throughout the summer and by appointment in the off season.
