Dunbar House and Ephrata Cloisters in Trouble

The Paul Laurence Dunbar house, which was closed recently because of budget shortages (the state of Ohio cut its funding), is slated to reopen thanks to help from the Ohio State Historical Society.

I worry that many literary sites will be facing similar cuts in the coming months. Pennsylvania is considering closing a number of its historic sites to save money, including the Joseph Priestly house and the Ephrata Cloisters, one of my favorite state historic sites.
