Thurber House: A gathering place for readers, writers, and Thurber enthusiasts of all ages.
Celebrating the written word for the education and entertainment of the broadest possible audience and continuing the legacy of James Thurber. Celebrate the discovery. Celebrate the inspiration. Celebrate the future.
Our programs include The Thurber Prize for American Humor, one of the highest recognitions of humor writing in the United States; author events featuring nationally known and local authors; writing workshops for children and adults; month-long writer residencies for writers of adult and children's literature; and a museum of James Thurber memorabilia. Thurber House is a unique national treasure.
We invite you to join us as we reimagine and step into what’s next as a community built on laughs and dedicated to learning. Together, as we look forward to the future we are refreshing the legacy that humorist, author, playwright, and cartoonist James Thurber created. Our foundation is rooted in the love of literary arts and humor.
