Miskatonic University

Miskatonic University is a private, independent institution founded in 1690. The 120-acre campus is located in Arkham, Massachusetts and is named for the Miskatonic River, which flows through the town.

Miskatonic University ceased operations in 1936 due to financial problems. Most of the campus buildings were destroyed, along with the entire town of Arkham, the following year in the mysterious flooding of the Misaktonic River.

A formal organiation of alumnae and former associates of the university formed in 1936.
