Visited: Thursday, June 28th, 2012
This NPS site averages about 3,000 visitors - per year. Reservations are required; the only way to visit otherwise involves a long hike. Over large hills.
But - it's well worth it. You get to visit the home O'Neill (and, more importantly, his third wife) built, where he wrote his last three plays. The tour is very nice, giving a view of O'Neill's inspirations and troubles and loves; it's as much a _home_ as O'Neill ever had, in spite of living in the Tao House for just 7 years.
Of course, the problem is that - I don't really have a feel for O'Neill, and the house gave an incomplete picture. What I now need to do is see one of his plays. As a consequence, my bookstore purchase was - a DVD.
