The museum was built to commemorate the writer’s life, the museum reflects Steinback’s Solitary and quiet pursuit.. The Museum is a little away from the historic place where the villagers burnt a lot of his books, when they thought he had betrayed them and agriculture, through what he wrote in his books.
