• Overview

Eugene ONeill National Historic Site, located in Danville, California, preserves Tao House, the hillside home of Americas only Nobel Prize-winning playwright, Eugene ONeill, where he and his wife lived from 1937 to 1944. At this home, ONeill wrote his final and most memorable plays: The Iceman Cometh, Long Days Journey Into Night, and A Moon for the Misbegotten. The house was saved from demolition in the early 1970s by the Eugene O’Neill Foundation through several fundraising efforts, including benefit performances of Eugene O’Neill’s play Hughie featuring Jason Robards. Through their efforts, Tao House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971, a National Historic Site in 1976, and passed into the management of the National Park Service in 1980. ^[1]
