#December 20, 1968
#OTD John Steinbeck, American #Writer, died.
He won the #Nobel #Prize for #Literature in 1962.
John's #Grave is at the #Garden of Memories Cemetery, and his #Ashes are #Buried under an #Oak #Tree.
#Steinbeck turned his grandmother's house in #PacificGrove on the #Monterey Peninsula into a #Writing #Retreat. He added a #Garden and a little #Studio and found #Inspiration there.
Today the house is available for rent on #Airbnb.
