When the eminent playwright and longtime Connecticut resident Arthur Miller died in 2005, his daughter, filmmaker Rebecca Miller, decided that his home in Roxbury would be sold but that his small work studio - a standalone 14-foot by 22-foot building - would be relocated and preserved. The GoFundMe campaign is just the latest phase in an effort that began 15 years ago. Two weeks ago a GoFundMe campaign was launched looking to raise $1 million to move the studio next to Roxbury’s public library, then renovate and maintain it. Supporters of the playwright’s legacy are raising funds and awareness to make that happen. The town of Roxbury wants to add Arthur Miller’s writing studio to that list. In Connecticut, you can visit the writing room where Mark Twain wrote “Huckleberry Finn,” the summer cottage that Eugene O’Neill used as the setting for “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” the home where Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote “The American Woman’s Home” and two different schoolhouses where Nathan Hale taught.
