Amazing little place IF you are a fan. Great detail was put together on the different time frames of Jimmys life. Workers were very informative, sometimes too informative. Nice gift shop but sizes were limited on shirts. Would have spent more time if possible. Would go again.

We’ve been meaning to come to this museum as a family for years. So glad we finally made it to celebrate the life of Jimmy Stewart and remember his wonderful contributions to the world - many of them contributions outside of the film industry. He is such an example of citizenship and patriotism. And I love that he put his family first. I hope this museum is around for years to come.

An unexpectedly great array of memorabilia and information. It has expanded since I was last there. They also show a Jimmy Stewart movie every day at 1 PM. The museum earned a Trip Advisor Travelers Choice Award. I wholeheartedly agree with that award. It is well worth a drive to visit!

If you’re interested in James Stewart, like my daughter is, this is a great place to learn all about him. I’m not a huge fan, but I had a good time reading about him and seeing various aspects of his life, including how much good he did for society.

The entrance was a little tough to find. It is set back from the library building a bit and not at all obvious from the street. Apparently, there is limited free parking behind the building, but by the time we knew that, we had already fed a parking meter and were inside the museum.It is a small museum, but has some interesting things. Being a film buff, I had thought we had seen a lot of Mr. Stewarts performances. We learned that we have some homework to do! :-)The staff were very nice, but what is with museums like this not allowing photography?They have a theater that plays Mr. Stewarts movies. We didnt stay long enough to see a feature film, but did watch the biographical film. It was very good. Recommended.

When visiting family in the area I always make it a point to visit The Jimmy Stewart Museum. It has been a few years since my last visit and might I say I really enjoyed visiting this last time around. From what I gather the museum just went through a remodel. Theres a section for Indiana and the local history of the area. The Hollywood gallery wraps around the theatre along with an awards section. My two sons were amazed by the aviation/military exhibit. I was happy to see that they devoted a portion of the museum to his aviation/military career. I can tell you that my two sons spent the most time in that section. With the remodel I can say I enjoyed the museum more this time around. The Hollywood Gallery is all together, the Indiana portion is expanded, and the aviation/military is all together and is a great salute to Jimmys military service. The staff working was great as well and informed me that they will have rotating exhibits. I guess Ill have to make a visit around Christmas time as they have an expanded Its a Wonderful Life exhibit.

The Jimmy Stewart Museum was an unexpected delight. It has an extensive collection of awards, photos, personal effects and memorabilia from the beloved actor. The museum is spread throughout several rooms and features a retro cinema area that routinely shows various Stewart films and documentaries about his life, as well as several TVs scattered throughout its rooms that showcase different films within the Stewart canon.It is a definite must-visit for film buffs and Jimmy fans alike.Nestled in the sleepy, small town of Indiana, PA, the museum and its knowledgeable staff embody Stewarts quote, Always remember to be nice to people.

I always wanted to see this museum, however the staff here arent the best. They ask you for your zip code so they can see where everyone came from and after telling them my zip code. They told me that that wasnt real. So overall museum is great staff need to learn people skills.

Great memorabilia about Jimmy Stewarts career. A bit more interpretation of his life and legacy would be nice. Exhibits include a lot, but feel like theyre just stuff thrown up without much thought of telling a cohesive story. Fans of this great actor will enjoy the memories and probably learn something, but the museum could use an update. Still worth a visit.

We are Jimmy Stewart fans and decided to drive up and see the museum. What a wonderful place.The museum is an annex to the Indiana Public Library, in the middle of town per Jimmys wishes. The museum starts with Jimmys ancestry goes through his time growing up in Indiana, through his first movie career, his military service and his second movie career.The tour guide, Terre, got us started with the first room then allowed us to wander around looking at all of the artifacts from Jimmys life. He was a remarkable man, an actor, soldier, athlete, musician, poet and painter. Throughout his life Jimmy lived the ideals taught to him by his parents and those he grew up with in Indiana.The museum has plans for 2020 as this year is the 25th anniversary of museum. Wed like to come back and see the changes.

Museum itself was pretty cool, however the customer service was subpar. The man working at the ticket box did not offer everyone discounts for military, students, and AAA members which was extremely disappointing as we found this out when we were getting ready to leave and our family has AAA. When confronted about it, he offered no apology and ignored the comment. Also, the man working the gift store should be retired as he struggled to use the electronic tablet for ringing up or returning purchases. A family member had to return an item almost immediately after the purchase and it took more than a half hour to do the simple return and he was unable to perform the return so she just kept the item due to impatience and frustration.

Had no idea that this museum was going to be right by IUP where I was attending a conference. There were original costumes, a small theatre and much memorabilia that show what was going on during James Stewarts life that affected him and his career. Definitely worth checking out if your into film, history, and/or James Stewart
