Visitors use typewriters at the American Writers Museum

AWM Story of the Week

Every week, the AWM is excited to bring you stories written by our visitors in our Story of the Day exhibit. Check back weekly for new stories, and visit the Museum to try out our typewriters and possibly be featured here!

This week, we found 4 short pieces, written at different times on different sheets of paper by different visitors that seem to tell a story when put together. We thought that was super cool, and hope you do too!
