The Jimmy Stewart Museum
Indiana, Pennsylvania
Description

The Jimmy Stewart Museum, located in Indiana, Pennsylvania (Jimmy's hometown) highlights its namesake's accomplishments in film, radio and TV. His roles as military hero, civic leader, family man and world citizen are also woven into displays, film presentations and gallery talks. There's even a special room dedicated to his family's long and colorful history in Western Pennsylvania. A daguerreotype of his great grand-dad in Civil War uniform, baby photos of Jimmy, and his dad's old desk from the family hardware store are all on display.

Displays are chock full of original movie posters and photos beginning from the 1930's on. Awards and citations from Hollywood, film critics, the Boy Scouts and many other organizations from all over fill walls and cases. Jimmy has personally selected favorite momentos of his career to display, such as a Winchester commemorative rifle and a propeller blade autographed by the cast and crew of "Flight of the Phoenix". All of this adds a personal touch to this one-of-a-kind museum....

The Jimmy Stewart Museum offers a unique venue for your next event - flexible space for a corporate function or a family reception, plus entertainment no traditional gathering place can match! We will tailor a package for you, accomodating up to 125 guests.

School groups are invited to tour the Museum by appointment. The exhibit galleries present opportunities to enrich the learning experience. The Museum also has a dedicated room where enrichment activities can take place. We invite teachers to plan with the Museum staff special activities that relate to their curriculum units.
