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".
A movie camera at the entrance of the museum...
A poster of his commemorative stamp...
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...
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!
'Til next time, Love ya, Jean

Don't believe there was a finer gentleman than Jimmy Stewart. I love the advise he gave his twin daughters when they left for college..."be nice to people."
Hey Jean, loved your post. Jimmy Stewart was one of my very favorites and I didnt know a lot of this info. Loved the picture with Harvey. Love ya
I liked James Stewart he seemed a real gentleman, and a great man. I didn't think the statue looked like him, but the stamp sure does. Didn't he live a wonderful productive life. I really enjoyed my visit here today.
Looked like a wonderful trip!I love Jimmy Steward movies, I would love to visit!
ps You have a very beautiful garden!
Oh, I absolutely LOVE Jimmy Stewart, as an actor and a man. Thanks for a wonderful post and photos!
