Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is the home of author James Thurber during his collegiate years, and the setting of many of his most famous short stories. Take a self-guided tour of the first two floors and learn about Thurber's family and the inspiration for much of his work. Next door is Thurber Center, a conference facility hosting visiting authors and writing programs, and a gallery of book-related artwork. The center is staffed by volunteers on weekends, so they advise you to call ahead on Sat-Sun.

Daily 1pm-4pm
