“Entering a building which houses a museum named after me is a privilege I could never have anticipated. I hope its visitors will enjoy their stay there. After all, they are the ones who really built it .”
A Note From Jimmy Stewart
This letter from Jimmy Stewart was sent in honor of the grand opening of The Jimmy Stewart Museum on May 20, 1995.
