Welcome to Bradbury

Ray Bradbury is a celebrated author who has left an indelible mark on Durham. The city is home to the Ray Bradbury Center, which is dedicated to preserving the author's legacy and promoting his work. The center is located on the campus of Indiana University, and it houses a vast collection of Bradbury's manuscripts, letters, and other personal items. Visitors can explore the center's exhibits and learn more about Bradbury's life and work.

In addition to the Ray Bradbury Center, Durham is also home to several other landmarks that are associated with the author. For example, the Durham Public Library has a special collection of Bradbury's books and manuscripts, and the Durham Arts Council hosts an annual Ray Bradbury Festival. These events and attractions draw visitors from all over the world, and they help to keep Bradbury's memory alive.

Finally, Bradbury's influence can be felt throughout Durham's literary community. Many local writers and artists have been inspired by his work, and they continue to draw inspiration from his unique style and vision. Whether through their own writing or through events and programs that celebrate Bradbury's legacy, these individuals are helping to ensure that his impact on Durham and the world will be felt for generations to come.
