The Jimmy Stewart Museum was honored to be represented at the worldwide premiere of JIMMY, held at the Lone Star Film Festival in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 4, 2026.
Executive Director Jennifer Buckles and recently retired Executive Director Janie McKirgan attended the special red-carpet event, celebrating the debut of a film that brings the remarkable life and legacy of hometown favorite James Stewart to the big screen.
The Museum extends its heartfelt thanks to Burns & Co. Productions for the invitation and for including the Museum in this milestone occasion. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate alongside those who worked to bring Jimmy’s story to life and to see his legacy continue to reach new audiences.
As the hometown museum dedicated to preserving and sharing Jimmy Stewart’s story, we are especially proud to see his journey—from his roots in Indiana, PA, to his extraordinary career in Hollywood and service to his country—introduced to audiences around the world through this film.
With the worldwide premiere behind us, the excitement surrounding JIMMY offers a wonderful opportunity to discover even more about the man behind the legend. We invite moviegoers, longtime admirers, and new generations of fans to visit The Jimmy Stewart Museum in his hometown of Indiana, PA, and explore the remarkable life of this Hollywood icon, military hero, and devoted family man. From his small-town beginnings to his extraordinary achievements on and off the screen, be sure to schedule a visit to the Museum to learn more!
