"The Halloween Pumpin Glow tradition lives on. Thanks to all that made it happen. What a magnificent gem. It was like taking a step back in time. Fine historical restoration. Judy Ashby was such a wonderful pleasant tour host."
"A museum in the making. R. Buckminister Fuller was an international intellectual and distinguished professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He is most known as the inventor of the geodesic dome. This is one of his domes. It's being preserved by community grassroots efforts."
"its cool i would not bring your kids or a date there but it is still coo, to think that a really smart guy lived there... but yea its cool"
"Buckminster Fuller being one of my favorite philosopher engineers with an eye towards a sustainable future, I really enjoyed seeing the house but unfortunately only from the outside. The gates were locked but I parked in Anna Jason driveway and did a quick walk around. Love the history, wish to tour"
