Heading to Switzerland any time soon? There’s a new museum you might like to see. (I sure would.) They’ve taken Charlie Chaplin’s old home, located in a small lakeside town 50 miles from Geneva, and turned it into a museum–a fine museum, according to the New York Times article (attached), with re-creations of some of his more famous sets and of course, his films.
In my Roaring Twenties mysteries, Charlie Chaplin appears occasionally as the best friend of Douglas Fairbanks. They were inseparable for many years, until circumstances moved them apart. Fairbanks died quite young (56) in 1939; Chaplin lived to be 88 and died in 1977. Although he was English by birth and made Hollywood his home for decades, he spent the greatest portion of his life in Switzerland.
I’m going to be in eastern France next year, near the Swiss border. I think I’ll try to make this a side trip.

Very exciting!
How exciting. Definitely post the details if you get a chance to visit. I love to visit the homes/museums of authors also and last year was able to visit Mark Twain’s and Washington Irving’s homes while visiting New England.
