Quarry Farm is located in Elmira, New York. In 1869, Jervis Langdon purchased it as a vacation home for his family.^[2] When he died the following year, it was inherited by his eldest daughter, Susan Langdon Crane, Mark Twain's sister-in-law.

Twain and his family summered there for over twenty years.^[3]^[4] He wrote much of his work in an octagonal^[3] study built expressly for him about 200 yards (180 m) from the main house in 1874.^[2]

The study has since been moved to the Elmira College Old Campus in order to protect it from vandalism.^[5] The home is not open to the public.
