The famous author Mark Twain was born and raised in Missouri, but he spent much of his writing career at his family's summer cottage in Elmira, a place that is now known simply as Mark Twain's Summer Home. The 200-acre property and farmhouse are now primarily used as a retreat for working writers, but the one-room study where he spent most of his time working has been moved to the nearby Campus of Elmira College. Visitors are welcome to admire it from the outside and look through the windows, and if you join a guided tour, you can go inside as well.
