James Dean Gallery - Museum in Fairmount - 425 N Main St, USA

Great items of James Dean's career and personal life. Staff is friendly and helpful.

We drove up from Knoxville heading to Decatur and found this gem. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the museum was just as amazing. The gentleman working was so gracious and kind and gave us all the information on the area and everything we needed to know about James Dean! He was also a monster lover and showed us his Frankenstein model! Can't wait to come back when we have more time to see the whole town!

We lucked into finding the gallery on a recent road trip. We were pleasantly surprised that not only is the museum free, there is also a nice variety of gifts and memoribilia for purchase. The nice gentleman working, Lenny, was kind enough to give us a wonderful history lesson and recommendations for other local sites and eataries. You must stop in the museum if you're a James Dean fan! The city of Fairmount is full of places to see and great restaurants to enjoy!

This place and it’s owners are a treasure. Definitely check out the screening room in the back and the handmade artwork. So much to see and Lenny & David are a pleasure to talk to. Give Cleopatra their dog some pets for me. ♥️

This is a wonderful quick stop in the middle of our travels.. located in Fairmont, Indiana, it brought us some extra excitement. The host was wonderful and full of knowledge and was willing to answer all of our questions. This truly makes James Dean's legacy shine bright and shows exactly who he was. It is completed with a video room of rare footage, plenty of artifacts, and photos.. The host also gave us a map and explained where his gravesite is (also in Fairmont), his boyhood home (Fairmount), and where he got his first motorcycle (Fairmount). I give this place a solid 5 stars easily! I rate a MUST visit! Both the gallery and the gravesite!

First visit in 35 years. A really nice collection of James Dean items and memorabilia. My 9 year old daughter loved it. Visited all places listed on the map from the gallery.

Headed out exploring on my motorcycle today and ended up in Fairmount. Stopped at the James Dean Gallery and met the Owner Dave, and Lenny, who runs the gift shop. Really cool place, and two super nice guys. Very knowledgeable on James Dean and the town of Fairmount. Stop in and say hello to the guys and check out some very cool memorabilia. Also met Lenny's sweet dog Cleo.

Lots of James Dean history to see here, many actual Dean items from his early years, from grade school through high school, sports, drama club, etc... Many movie memorabilia items and displays. A wealth of information on the life of an iconic movie star that captured the imagination of a young generation. Must see if visiting his hometown.
