Mark Twain's Study - Historical landmark in Elmira - 800 Park Pl, USA

Made it to Elmira on a return trip from the Finger Lakes. This University campus is gorgeous and full of beautiful old buildings. This was not the original home for the study but has become its final resting place. It wasn't open the day we visited but I was able to peak in and just loved the decor. I am sure most of it is props and not the real belongings of Twain. I did read in the nearby Hall they have a display of his stuff. This was such an awesome opportunity to peek into the past.

The study is closed when Elmira College is closed. Was still able to view from outside and peeked in window- lovely setting on campus.

The site was closed when I visited, so I had to peak in through the windows and see what I could see from the outside. The structure itself could use some TLC, but the thought of Twain working for 20 years in that study, finishing some of his most incredible novels while summering in Elmira? Inspiring. His gravesite is also only a 3-4 minute drive away.

Even if the Mark Twain Center is closed you can still peak in his old study.

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.

Interesting piece of American literary history which is a must see in the Finger Lakes Region. You can also visit his final resting place at Woodlawn Cemetery a few blocks away. The gravesite is easy to find.

Well kept actual place where Twain wrote several books was relocated to site from farm overlooking Elmira. Mark Twain society in Elmira located at Elmira college.

A great suprise stop. The town of Elmira, NY has a college that houses Mark Twains study, and his grave is near by also.
