Thurber House

Thurber House Review

James Thurber once reflected, "I have lived in the East for nearly thirty years now, but many of my books prove that I am never very far away from Ohio in my thoughts, and that the clocks that strike in my dreams are often the clocks of Columbus." His restored boyhood home contains memorabilia and creations of the Columbus native, author, humorist, cartoonist, and playwright, and Thurber House sponsors a writer-in-residence program based in the house as well. It's at the edge of Downtown, a block east of the Columbus Museum of Art. Guided tours are available on Sundays for $2.50.

  • Big 10 campuses

    I thought it might be fun to try to visit all of the Big 10 campuses in a year (or thereabouts).

    Anyone have any suggestions for not-to-be-missed campus or area sites?

    Thanks for your help. Read more
