My second visit but still learned a lot about Eugene, his Tao house & his plays. And, a dead King snake.
A comfortable small shuttle takes visitors from the Railroad Parking Lot to the site. A pleasant place to spend an hour.
Felt great to visit this historical place of a noble prizer winner, Eugene O' Neil. This eminent writer lived here in Danville along with his wife for more than a decade. You can visit this place only with reservations from NPS( National Park Service). Beautifully located home amidst the valley's. You need to book a shuttle inorder to reach this place.
You have to call ahead and set a reservation for this NHS (there are gates closing off the house's property and no way to enter the house anyway) but it's totally worth it. We so enjoyed our (essentially private) tour with Ms. Joy this week around the Eugene O'Neill NHS.
The NPS bus picks you up in downtown Danville and, if you're lucky, they'll have some nice informational tidbits about Danville along the way. Entrance to this NHS is free of charge -- they just require reservation.
The tour lasts about two hours and is full of incredible history about the life, works, and philosophies of the late Eugene O'Neill and the things that influenced his home and "last harbor".
Nice hillside home with quiet refreshing ranch style surroundings. I've only come in, from the backside hiking trail, to roam around and enjoy the grounds and not taken the tour to go inside the home. But definitely worth coming by to check it out. Maybe take the tour next time myself.
