The Jimmy Stewart Museum
@jimmy-dot-org
The Jimmy Stewart Museum is located in Mr. Stewart’s hometown of Indiana, PA. Exhibits honor his life, film career, and military service.
Exciting news from the Jimmy Movie! Singer and actress MŌRIAH will perform the film's original song, "Home to Me," while award-winning composer Grant Fonda-the great-great-grandnephew of Henry Fonda-has created the film's original score. The film JIMMY premiers on November 6, 2026.
A bit of movie trivia: In Spain, THE NAKED SPUR was released as COLORADO JIM. Did “naked” not translate well? Did “Colorado” shout “Scenic American Western”? Did “Jim” offer up international name recognition and box office appeal? Our guess is “Yes” to all.
“Packed with Technicolor thrills” and starring Jimmy, Janet Leigh and Robert Ryan, our matinee this week is the story of a bounty hunter trying to bring a murderer to justice who is forced to accept the help of two untrustworthy strangers.
Jimmy was fascinated with Charles Lindbergh’s famous flight and aviation in general. When he graduated from Princeton in 1932, he was awarded a scholarship to continue his studies in architecture for his thesis on an airport terminal design. See THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS with us tomorrow.

Coming up at 5:30pm on @tcmtv.bsky.social is THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS (1957). Jimmy was passionate about aviation. Later in his life, he recalled Lindbergh's famous flight as among the most significant events of his youth. He lobbied Warner Brothers to get the role. Directed by Billy Wilder.
Philip K. Scheuer of the Los Angeles Times called SHENANDOAH “a curious film for this day and age, a kind of anachronistic throwback to the bucolic”. “(James Stewart) creates a unique character and sustains it convincingly through stress and tragic change." See it in our theater this weekend!
Our matinee this week is a rousing, well-acted saga of Virginia widower indifferent to War between the States until his family is involved. Co-starring Katherine Ross and Doug McClure. See SHENANDOAH through Sunday in our museum theater.
Before HARVEY became one of Jimmy’s most beloved films, it was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play by Mary Chase. Jimmy stepped into the role of the kind-hearted Elwood P. Dowd during summer productions in 1947 and 1948, and he fell in love with the character. See it with us this week.
Our weekly matinee is 1950’s HARVEY. Due to his insistence that he has an invisible six-foot tall rabbit for a best friend, a whimsical middle-aged man is thought by his family to be insane-but he may be wiser than anyone know. Pookas always get free admission.
Join us for our matinee this weekend. Now showing: MR. HOBBS TAKES A VACATION (1962). We promise our theater is more comfortable than the beach house!
Take a vacation with Mr. Hobbs this week! Jimmy plays the titular character who just wants to spend a quiet holiday at the beach, but his wife has invited all their family to stay with them. Co-starring Maureen O’Hara and Fabian. See it at 1:00pm in our museum theater through Sunday.

Jimmy and Pie had a special bond that bordered on extraordinary. You can read more about it here: collider.com/jimmy-stewar...
Jimmy Stewart rode the same horse, Pie, in 17 films—including 'The Far Country’. A scene required Pie to walk alone down the middle of a street alone. Jimmy leaned in and quietly gave Pie instructions about what to do. It was filmed in a single take. See ‘The Far Country' as our matinee at 1 pm.
Before James Stewart landed the lead in SEVENTH HEAVEN (1937), the role was set to go to Tyrone Power—who backed out due to scheduling conflicts, and would soon become one of 20th Century Fox’s biggest stars. See it this weekend at 1:00pm in our museum theater!
Our matinee this week is 1937’s SEVENTH HEAVEN. Co-starring Simone Simon. A Parisian sewer worker longs for a rise in status and a beautiful wife. He rescues a girl from the police, lives with her on the seventh floor of a flat, and then marches off to war.
In THE MURDER MAN, Jimmy plays the role of Shorty, a tongue in cheek nod to his being one of the tallest folks in the cast. See it in our theater this week at 1:00pm through Sunday.
This week’s matinee sees Jimmy billed sixth, but you’ll have to trust us as he didn’t make the poster. From 1936, in his first feature film role, it’s THE MURDER MAN.

Morally ambiguous? A few times. Hell-bent on revenge? OH, yeah. But did Jimmy ever straight-up play the villain? Twice — bookending his busy year of 1936, when he appeared in eight feature films. One was in AFTER THE THIN MAN. Can you name the other? Hint: It’s our matinee this week at 1 p.m.
BORN TO DANCE (1936) has Jimmy, Eleanor Powell, Virginia Bruce, a fantastic supporting cast, and a score by Cole Porter. It might also be the only musical with a song dedicated to a Pekingese dog. See it in our museum theater through Sunday!
