Nyack

In 1944, when Carson's father died, her mother left Columbus and moved to Nyack, New York, where she bought this house. Carson lived with her mother and sister off and on in this house for a number of years, eventually buying the house from her mother. Carson was living in this house when she died, in 1967.

The latest chapter in CSU's efforts to maintain a lasting tribute to Carson McCullers is a recent commitment from Dr. Mary Mercer, McCullers' physician and long time friend, to leave McCullers' house in Nyack, New York, to Columbus State University.

In December of 2006 the McCullers house in Nyack was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
