Took a trip to Columbus for some Paranormal fun and did a surprise visit to The Thurber House — the tour guide was amazing! We enjoyed our visit and for some awesome EVPs! Mame does not like her portrait!

Small, reasonable entry fee. Helpful attendant. A nice space.

When I visit a new city, I like to visit museums that are unique to the city and will teach me something about the city. Whether you’re a Columbus resident or a visitor, Thurber House (conveniently located close to the Columbus Museum of Art, which is also worth a visit) will teach you something new about this great city and one of its most famous born-and-raised celebrities, writer James Thurber. Located in a house built in 1873 (a house that Thurber and his family lived in for five years), Thurber House is full of history. Plus, you’ll see some of Thurber’s original art and more fun memorabilia! It’s an informative way to spend an hour.

Interesting piece of the history of Columbus and one of it's well known citizens.

Great day! My niece became a Docent yesterday.

I have been reading Thurber for over 50 years. Visiting the house I had read about so often was wonderful. The stories were made real for me. I highly recommend visiting the house to all Thurber fans, even if only to see the stairs the ghost ran up.

What a lovely evening. Boxed meal and a terrific speaker. This is a Columbus event not to be missed. Check it out, as there are several more this summer.

Went here first floor for a group discussion meeting. The room was nice and spacious it could hold 50 plus easily and comfortably standing or sitting in rows. We did not even use all the seats. Lights were bright, there was a screen for uploading or projecting. Very convenient not far from Columbus State University, CCAD, or downtown. All around nice place.

Neat place. Books and Boos was enjoyable. Staff were friendly. House is haunted.

Fantastic! So many wonderful youth programs that cater toward young writers. Signed my son up for summer camp. He had such a fun week!!

We were just there and Kevlyn was amazing!! They were so informative and answered all of our questions. The woodwork and furnishings are absolutely spectacular and the history is just awesome! We will be back :)

A great museum space and well restored historic home dedicated to the author.

Beautiful home that takes you back to the days of James Thurber. There is lots of neat history in this house. This is where Thurber lived with his family while he was going to The Ohio State University.

Our guide was Pat, and she was highly knowledgable and very entertaining and personable. The house has had a wonderful restoration after almost being demolished in the 80’s. It’s full of fun Thurber history and artifacts. Worth the visit and the guided tour. They also sell new and used Thurber books as well as some shirts and mugs. IF YOU’RE THE ONE WHO STOLE THURBER’S TONY AWARD, RETURN IT!

Amazing summer camp for kids!

Literature lovers will want to visit the historic Thurber House, which is ranked first. The former residence of the literary cartoonist and writer James Thurber was transformed into a Thurber and Literature Museum. You can take a free self-help tour of Thurber House on any day of the week, or attend a regular literature show, such as an evening with the author. During the summer, you can enjoy a picnic dinner and a demonstration by a featured writer during the summer picnic series.

A short walk from the museum of art! As a huge Thurber fan I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the restored house in the self guided tour. Lots of Thurber memorabilia as well as a nice gift shop and friendly staff.

An interesting museum in the house that James Thurber lived in and wrote about. Thurber was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. He became a writer and cartoonist. He spent much of his career writing and drawing for the "New Yorker" magazine. The house is furnished much as it was in 1917.
