Fairmount Historical Museum Fairmount Indiana

Fairmount Historical Museum Fairmount Indiana. To millions of adoring fans around the world, James Dean was more than just a pretty face. James Dean was a brilliant actor, artist and the embodiment of an entire generation of angst-ridden youth.
Every September, those same fans – the ones who leave red lipstick-clad kisses on the sunbaked headstone of his grave – converge on Fairmount, Indiana and attend the James Dean Festival. Together, they celebrate the life and work of one of the most enduring legacies in Hollywood. Thousands of Dean fans laugh, cry and share their very own stories of how the young actor, gone, but not forgotten, managed to change their lives forever.
As has been in the past, the residents of Fairmount will once again open their doors to movie fans from around the world as they celebrate the life and legacy of “The Rebel” himself.
