James Dean Gallery

Indiana


The privately owned James Dean Gallery has several rooms of memorabilia (bronze busts, photos, clocks, Dean's high-school yearbooks) in an old Victorian home downtown. The owners are a font of local information and are more focused on post-death international collector's items and knickknacks.

There is also a screening room and a small vintage memorabilia shop.
