National Historic Site·Quiet, Historical, Reflective, Secluded
The Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site is a dedicated tribute to America's only Nobel Prize-winning playwright, located in the scenic hills of Danville, California. At the heart of the site is Tao House, a private sanctuary built by O'Neill at the height of his career to find the isolation needed for his work. It was here that he penned legendary plays such as 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' and 'The Iceman Cometh.' Managed by the National Park Service, the site preserves the quiet, contemplative atmosphere that fueled O'Neill's creativity, allowing visitors to walk the same grounds and experience the historic architecture of this literary landmark.
