The Danville house where Eugene O’Neill wrote some of his best-known plays has been closed by the National Park Service because of a dispute over an access road. People living near Tao House, where O’Neill lived from 1937 to 1944, have threatened to block the road because of the constant stream of visitors. Park officials say that as many as 40 people a day visit the house where O’Neill lived when he wrote “The Iceman Cometh,” “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” and “Moon for the Misbegotten.” They hope to work out an agreement with neighbors that will allow the park to re-open the house.
