Today is one of our favorite days of the year...National Pawpaw Day!

The pawpaw was adopted as Ohio's native fruit in 2009 and is the only edible fruit native to Ohio. While it may look like a tropical fruit, pawpaws grow naturally in the forests of Ohio, often along riverbanks and in shady, moist areas. Their soft, custard-like fruit has a unique tropical flavor that's often compared to a mix of banana and mango 🥭

The Thurber House celebrates the life of humorist and cartoonist James Thurber, who grew up in this Columbus home. The restored Victorian is now a literary center and museum.

Thurber's witty writings and drawings, many inspired by his Columbus years, made him a beloved American author. The house hosts readings, programs, and writers in residence.

Columbus has a rich literary side. Are you a fan of James Thurber's work?
