In 1891, after first visiting Tryon, North Carolina, William Gillette began building his bungalow, which he later enlarged into a house. He named it Thousand Pines and it is privately owned today. For years, the town of Tryon celebrated the William Gillette Festival, honoring Gillette. The Polk County Historical Museum there displays Gillette's pipe and slippers from his farewell tour of Sherlock
