Twain is buried here.
Visit the grave site and monument at the north end of Walnut Street. The monument was erected by his daughter Clara. Also, at Elmira College there is the Mark Twain study, built in an octagonal shape like a Mississippi river boat. The study was built for Twain by his sister-in law, Susan Langdon. Located at 351 Farmington Avenue, the house has a 19-room Gothic design with a porch and interior stairway built to resemble a Mississippi River steamboat.
