Things to Do in Elmira, New York    

Quick Summary: Set on the banks of the Chemung River, Elmira is a charming small town fondly known as "Mark Twain Country" because of all the time the famous author spent working on his books here. Visitors can take a tour of Twain's former study and see his grave in the Woodlawn Cemetery of Elmira, but there are plenty of other things to do as well, including the Arnot Art Museum and the historic carousel in Eldridge Park. The area is also a hub for the sport of soaring, which visitors can learn about at the National Soaring Museum before taking an exhilarating passenger flight.
