We're saddened to share that Rosemary Thurber, James Thurber's only child, passed away on June 8 at the age of 94. Rosie was pivotal in the establishment of Thurber House & her loss will be felt deeply by all who knew her.

Ahh... enjoying the simple life of #WindowsXP! 😌

For over a decade, this PC was tucked in a corner of our storage room until we finally booted it up to download the data. Here is Jess in pre-AI bliss. 🙂

Does anyone still have a copy of Oregon Trail? 😢🐂🐃🐍😵

Incredible news! 🥹❤️

Last weekend, our friend Frances hosted a competition with 15 players. 🏆 The players fundraised $10,437—enough to send ALL scholarship kids to Summer Writing Camp! 🙌 And then the winner donated her $400 prize to Thurber House too. 😭
