Thurman offers the quiet of country living with quick connections to regional employers, schools, and parks. Set along the US‑35 corridor, it’s an easy hop to daily needs and seasonal fun in Rio Grande and across Gallia County. Local calendars often include trips to the Bob Evans Farm for its long-running festival, heritage exhibits, and family-friendly events. Small-town roads invite evening strolls and bike rides, while nearby farm markets and roadside orchards keep kitchens well-stocked through the seasons.
Education stands out as a strength. Families tap into Gallia County Local Schools for K–12, and learners of all ages benefit from the programs and workforce pathways at the University of Rio Grande. On rainy days or study nights, the Bossard Memorial Library anchors story times, makerspace activities, and a robust local history collection.
Weekends bring easy outdoor escapes. Hikers and nature lovers wander the trails and backroads of the region’s hills, or plan bigger adventures in the Wayne National Forest. County traditions thrive at the Gallia County Junior Fair, while the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau keeps tabs on festivals, riverfront concerts, and farm-to-table happenings.
