The Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes granted the Quarry Farm Foundation $50,000. The grant money will help finance the installation of a state-of-the-art fire suppression system in the historic building where Mark Twain and his family spent many summers together and was home to Twain’s Study, where he wrote The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and many more classics.
“This Community Foundation grant could not be more timely,” stated Katherine Roehlke, Vice-President of the Quarry Farm Foundation and chair of local fundraising efforts. “Quarry Farm is one of America’s premier literary landmarks and is in urgent need of restoration. Most of its systems are more than 150 years old. Many individuals and foundations have already given generously to the work in progress, but this Community Foundation grant arrives just as we commence our local fundraising in earnest.”
Twain and his family summered at Quarry Farm for 24 years starting in 1870. There, on East Hill overlooking Elmira, he wrote parts of his most famous works including Huck Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court, Life on the Mississippi, and many more.
“This is the Community Foundation’s second grant to Quarry Farm,” added Randi Hewit, President of the Community Foundation. “That speaks to the urgency and importance of the work in progress there. Quarry Farm is a national treasure, and we are its stewards.”
“We are exceedingly grateful for this grant. Because we honor historic preservation standards, our work is expensive and time-consuming,” stated Joe Lemak, Director of the Center for Mark Twain Studies at Elmira College. “The entire regional community has been magnificent in its support, but we have a long way to go.”
