Larisa- Try the H.L. Mencken House, 1524 Hollins Street, Baltimore, MD
21223 and the O. Henry Home and Museum, 409 E. 5th Street, Austin,
Texas 78701., for starters. The Willa Cather Historical Center, 326 N.
Webster, Red Cloud, Nebraska 68970 has preserved not only Willa
Cather's childhood home but other buildings associated with fictional
characters in her books. And on Prince Edward Island you can visit the
home of another fictional character, Ann of Green Gables. Sorry I don't
have this address, but it is a pilgrimage site for thousands of Japanese
tourists who were brought up reading the Ann of Green Gables books.
Of couse, I shouldn't forget to mention the Ernest Hemmingway House
Museum, 907 Whitehead, Key West, Florida 33040 and the Pearl Buck
Birthplace, 1010 3rd Avenue, Marlinton, West Virginia 24954 as well as
the Pearl Buck House, Box 181, Perkasie, Pennsylvania. In Hartford,
Connecticut, the Mark Twain House , 351 Farmington Avenue, Hartford
06106, and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, 77 Forest Street, Hartford
06105, are in close proximity to each other. These are just a few of my
favorites, if by "literary museum" you mean museums and historic sites
devoted to an author or a fictional character (neat trick, the latter). A look
through the index of the American Association of Museums _Official
Museum Directory_ would probably turn up many more. -Lonn Taylor
