If you are a Mark Twain fan this is a magnetic destination for you. Gifted by his sister in law, a member of a prominent Elmira family it was originally built at Quarry Farm on nearby Jerusalem Hill where he spent. A good many summers with his wife, Olivia nee Langdon and his children. Twain, Samuel Clemens wrote many of his most famous books in this study, which through the windows encircling it offered beautiful views of the Queen City located in the picturesque valley below, the Chemung River splitting the city into two halves.The Study now sits in a peaceful setting on the campus of Elmira College where a Center For Mark Twain studies exists. Constructed in the shape of a Mississippi Riverboats Pilots Cabin one can see why Twain loved his trips to Elmira where he was at ease to write his best stories.

Loved it. Would recommend the study anytime. The pond was gorgeous as the backdrop to Mark Twains study. Located on the grounds of Elmira college. Check out the statutes of Mark Twain and his wife Clara.

It was easy to locate, well marked, lovely cemetery. We had been to Hannibal, Missouri, Twains birthplace and wanted to visit Elmira after reading how much time he spent there

Let me save you the a trip off the highway. Its literally this tiny cabin in the middle of a gorgeous campus. Thats it. If you do make the stop you must drive five minutes down the road and see his gravesite to make the trip feel worthwhile

Great little spot to visit when passing through Southern Tier (NY). Twain wrote his most significant work while summering in Elmira. Call in advance to ensure study is open. Also, check out the exhibit in nearby Cowles Hall.

Elmira College is so pretty. We enjoyed walking a little of the campus. The studys setting was so peaceful and quiet. A reflective place with a sense of the time he lived in. I think its a place that people who enjoy his writing would like to see.

Elmira College does a great job in preserving all things Mark Twain. Visitors are welcomed to their holdings. We arrived before the traditional summer tourist season.Amazed to see the dwelling where Samuel Clemmons created his later works. Found central to the campus.

There isnt much to see here. Its a very simple small room. Its not open often, but you can see everything from the window in the front so it doesnt change much.
