THE MARK TWAIN STUDY
Watercolor by Talitha Botsford
Designed as a replica of a Mississippi steamboat
pilot house, this octagonal study stood at Quarry
Farm on East Hill in Elmira, N. Y. for 78 years
before it was moved in 1952 to the Elmira College
campus. It was in this study in the summer of
1874 that Mark Twain wrote most of Tom Sawyer,
and subsequently parts of many of his best
known works, including The Adventures of Huckle-
berry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper, Life on
the Mississippi and A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court.
