American author Pearl S. Buck, who was awarded both a Pulitzer Prize, and a Nobel Prize, lived at Green Hills Farm in Dublin, Pennsylvania for 40 years. She moved there after writing the best-selling book The Good Earth. The 60-acre homestead is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public.
Buck purchased the home in 1933 and lived there until she relocated to Vermont in the 1960s. She produced many works on this farm including This Proud Heart (1938), The Patriot (1939), Today and Forever (1941), and The Child Who Never Grew (1950). Buck was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
