Review for National Steinbeck Center, Salinas, CA, USA
The National Steinbeck Center is a wonderful organization that brings many diverse groups together from a local, regional and at times national level to study the works of John Steinbeck and to learn how these groups can work together to make a richer world to live in. The diverse number of social groups that are featured for study and gatherings at this faciltiy make it a one of a kind for our Region.
There are a number of events annually that highlight the many ethnic groups within our region. These are deisgned for most age groups. Specifically there is a day of writing specifically for children up to high school that can increase their written skill set with adult input. The Steinbeck Festival is probably the highlight of the year to celebrate John Steinbecks life and stories.
The Center also includes a section devoted to local agriculture and how that history impacted Stinebecks writtings.
The facility is also a community focal point for various gatherings.

I would like to see it expand its base by developing more repeat visitors. Some visitors come one time and are not drawn back for additional visits.
