Some places inspire great stories. Columbus is one of them. Long before she became one of America's most celebrated authors, Carson McCullers was growing up in Columbus, attending Columbus High School and finding inspiration in the people and places that would shape her writing.

Today, Columbus State University is preserving that legacy in a remarkable way. From caring for McCullers' childhood home here in Columbus to restoring her longtime home in Nyack, New York, the university is creating opportunities for future writers, artists and students to experience the places that shaped one of America's literary icons.

It's another reminder that Columbus isn't just rich in history. It's a city that celebrates creativity, invests in the arts and continues to inspire new generations.
