Jimmy Stewart Museum.....

While I was on vacation in Pennsylvania, 
I had the pleasure of visiting the
Jimmy Stewart Museum in Indiana,  PA.
It is a large museum dedicated solely to the actor.
He was born & raised here.
His career spanned the years from 1932 to 1991. 
He won an Academy award for his role in
"The Philadelphia Story"  in 1940.
He starred in a total of 81 movies and numerous TV appearances. 
Some of the most famous films were: 
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", 
"It's a Wonderful Life",
& "Harvey".





 This is a bronze statue of Mr. Stewart...


A movie camera at the entrance of the museum...


A poster of his commemorative stamp...
That's me with "Harvey"... 


The home where he grew up.  This is just a short distance from the museum... 


A view taken from the end of the street where his home is...


This man also flew 20 combat missions in World War II:  rose to Brigadier General,  Air Force Reserve;  and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1985.
  
If you ever get a chance to visit here,  this is a very well done and thought out museum.  Plan to spend some time here, there is so much to see.  I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did!
