Thurber House Revenue and Competitors

Thurber House is the place where laughter, learning, and literature meet. We serve more than 9,000 people across Central Ohio through our children's education programs, author events, adult writing workshops, the living museum, writers-in-residence, and the National Thurber Prize for American Humor. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Thurber House (the home of humorist, author, and New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber) is a non-profit literary center and museum. Our mission is to celebrate the written word for the education and entertainment of the broadest possible audience and to continue the legacy of James Thurber. Thurber House opened its doors to the public in 1984 after extensive renovation to the historic house location in Columbus, Ohio, where Thurber lived with his family while he was a student at The Ohio State University. Since then, we have become a gathering place for readers, writers, and Thurber enthusiasts of all ages.
