My father served in the Air Force during the WWII with Jimmy Stewart
My all-time favorite actor and human being. Every time we heard Jimmy recite his poem "Beau", also known as "I’ll Never Forget a Dog Named Beau" it tore our hearts out! Heaven gained a precious soul when Jimmy died. Thank you for this Gem of a video Jordan.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor too. Every film I saw him in was great, but my favorite was Its a Wonderful Life.
Yes I remember him talking about his dog named Beau and the poem it totally melted my heart.
Jimmy was my all-time favorite actor as well and I will never forget his tribute to his dog Beau on the Johnny Carson show (at 14:00 in Jordan's video you can see a plaque on the wall for Beau).
On the Tonight Show Jimmy recited a poem "to his dog named Beau".
At first the poem was filled with lots of levity:
"He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.
Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite prey.
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.
He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice it to say that he survived
And the house survived as well"
Of course at this point in the poem , Johnny, Ed and the audience were laughing along uproariously not knowing where the poem was headed.
And then it hit..........
"We are early-to-bedders at our house -- I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.
He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs,
And I'd give him one for a while.
He would push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd fish it out with a smile.
And before very long He'd tire of the ball
And be asleep in his corner In no time at all.
And there were nights when I'd feel him Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.
And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh and I think I know the reason why.
He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.
And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.
And there are nights when I think I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.
Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau."
Needless to say during the second part of the poem the studio went completely silent and by the time Jimmy said "I'll always love a dog name Beau" there was not a dry eye in the studio.

@@kevinkeswick1243 I remember that program. I'm a lifelong animal lover and member of several animal charities. I've had dogs and cats, and they've all been rescues. I had tears welling in my eyes reading this poem. My two current cats were both rescued as kittens from the Atlanta Humane Society and are 15 years old now. They are snuggling with me now, one right next to me and the other on my lap. They follow me all over the house, they keep me company dozing on the bathroom rug while I take my bath. I thought when my children grew up and moved out, I could finally close the bathroom door...but that doesn't seem to be the case. 😉 They much prefer to sleep with me than in their pricey, fluffy "marshmallow" beds. When Tia is ready to go to sleep, she snuggles into the curve of my arm and uses my hand as her pillow.
I've had many dogs through the years as well, strays that I picked up off the street or adopted through the Atlanta Humane Society. I just love animals, always have, and they seem to love me as I seem to be some kind of stray magnet. 😄
Thank you for publishing this endearing and heartfelt poem. I'm going to watch that video now.
Jimmy's favorite co-star was Pie, the horse he rode in 17 westerns. Their relationship was legendary. Tom Hanks talks about visiting Jimmy at his home and noticed the only movie memorabilia in the home was a painting of Pie. After he won the Oscar for "The Philadelphia Story" in 1941, the statuette was displayed at his father's hardware store.
I had the honor of meeting Jimmy Stewart in 1993. He was very kind to my mother and my self. I didnt want to bother him by asking for his autograph. He offered and I have kept his signature in a very safe place. My all time favorite movie is It's a wonderful life ❤ Great vlog Jordan thank you.
Thank you for taking us to Jimmy’s hometown. One of my favorite Jimmy Stewart movies is Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window……it’s a must see.
Jordan, you totally made my day (week, month) with this one. Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor of all time. It was amazing to see all of this!
He was awesome.
The horse you saw in the photo/painting in Jimmy Stewart's office...was "Pie" the red sorrel horse that he rode in 17 of his western movies....a time span of quite a few years..."Pie" passed away in 1970 and was buried on Stewart's California ranch....Stewart always said he was a great movie horse...easy to ride and even took cues from the trainer...one of "Pie's" last movies was 1968's Bandolero with Stewart, Dean Martin and Raquel Welch....a great western 🤠
The most versatile actor and performer of all time. James Stewart was the great one. RIP Jimmy we miss you.
Great video!! The one thing I like so much and appreciate about your videos is you take your time and you let us look at and enjoy what it is you’re showing us. You don’t hurry through. And what I also appreciate is how you take the time to read the plaques. There’s so much information on them and most people don’t take the time to read them but I’ve always enjoyed them. Thank you for all you do and the opportunity for us to see things that we might not get to..
I loved Jimmy Stewart. I remember him best in the movie Spirit of St Louis. I have roots in this town. My 4 times great grandfather lived and is buried there in Memorial park. I was surprised to see in John Wayne's and Jimmies lineage that their ancestors came from Antrim Ireland which is where my ancestor came from! I wonder if they all knew each other.?
Jimmy was a lot of things but above all from many accounts he was a decent man. RIP James Stewart.
Thanks for posting Jordan - I loved the Vlog.
I've been to that museum. It's a wonderful way to spend a few hours. He was a remarkable man. Dad put his Oscar in the window of the hardware store. After the war, he flew his plane back to Indiana, PA by himself using railroad tracks as a guide. His sister had quite a career as a nurse. I think it's sad though that none of the houses he lived in are still around. The house in Indiana was torn down as was his house in Beverly Hills which was across the street from Lucille Ball.
Actually, Jimmy's childhood home still stands on North 7th Street in Indiana. The house where he was born, on Philadelphia Street, was torn down long ago. His childhood home is privately owned now.
Jimmy Stewart has always been by far one of my favorite actors, along with John Wayne. I have watched many, many of his movies and love them all. There was something about his personality that would draw you in. His stammer in his voice was part of the charm. If anyone has not seen "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" I would highly recommend it. I would def. like to visit this museum. Very cool Jordan!
Jimmy Stewart is my favorite "old Hollywood" actor. He was an absolute genius as you said in your vlog. When he was on the screen, you couldn't take your eyes off him. Marilyn Monroe was probably the female equivalent in that regard. That was one hell of a museum and tribute to Jimmy. You could tell they put a lot of love and respect into it. This is one of your best vlogs thus far. 👏👍❤
He was both a fantastic actor and a wonderful human being. I don't think that there was anyone out there who didn't like him. Such a fabulous museum. Thank you.
Anyone that’s a huge Jimmy Stewart fan, as I am, should go to TH-cam and look up the poem he read on Johnny Carson about his dog Beau. No one could’ve done such a tender and heartwarming read of the poem better than Jimmy Stewart. It was very touching and well worth seeing. You’ll never forget it.
When I think of someone who was kind, gentle, talented, heroic and leading a full life I think of Jimmy Stewart.
Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor. He was so amazing in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington especially the part when he’s at the Lincoln Memorial and he’s so discouraged from the politics of Washington. Such a great actor and a nice man. The museum looks amazing! Thanks for vlogging it. Another great video.
Thank you, Jordan for this wonderful vlog on Jimmy Stewart. Never knew about his life growing up and everything outside of watching his movies. He’s one of my top favorite actors from the years of old Hollywood. Love learning new things everyday. He was all American, patriot among many great things. Super enjoyed the museum and seeing his childhood home. He and the other actors who fought in WWII are real American heroes. Love learning new things from you . Had no idea that there is a nice town in PA named Indiana. Loving all the travel vlogs you do. You are doing a wonderful job decorating and getting your home in Jordan shape. You have great tastes and ideas of how you want your home to look on the inside and outside. God bless you for all you do in every part of your life. Love you and Jah. ❤️
the Jimmy Stewart Museum is wonderful! who'd have thought all those genuine artifacts would be gathered in one place. your vlog ideas are fantastic...keep bringing us this awesome content, please!! every day it's a new adventure, and i love it!! :)
Hi Jordan, what a brilliant Museum, that giant rabbit by the lamp post made me smile. I think an actor of his stature deserves such a Museum. Great to see his original costumes and Awards, his family really do deserve a big thank you for donating all those items. I love that they have his booth from Chasen's, that iconic place has gone, but another piece saved. They don't make actor's like him anymore. Great vlog Jordan.
I love Jimmy Stewart. One of my favorite actors of all time ❤
I'm From Indiana, County Pennsylvania, It's a True Honor to have been born and raised in The exact same Town as Actor James Stewart. Thank You Jordan for taking back to my Hometown.
Wonderful vlog about a dear man who was a wonderful actor. He did so many great movies but I have to say my top of all he did was reading his touching poem about his dog Beau on the Tonight Show. I loved his movies but that segment on the show has stuck with me all these years. So very sweet and showed his gentle and loving nature.
What a wonderful tribute to Jimmy. One of Hollywood most charismatic iconic legends of all time . With those debonair good looks , and the voice that makes heads turn .You can see why Hollywood wanted him . For he was born to be a star⭐.
James Stewart is The Bees Knees ;] We Will LOVE Him FOREVER!! ~GOD BLESS Ya James Stewart ~
Thanks so much for doing Jimmy Stewart. He was a Great Man and Actor. Enjoyed so much.
Super vlog! Who doesn't love Jimmy Stewart. Thank you for taking us along....
One of my absolute favorite actors! He also served in the USAF! Thanks for the video Jordan!
💋Another great vlog about one of my favorite old Hollywood actors. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Thank you for showing this!! I am a big fan of Jimmy Stewart! I'm unable to go anywhere and this is the only way I can see my favorite things. You are the best!!
Great video Jordan, The town looked really nice. Jimmy Stewart was a very handsome and graceful man. Lovely looking museum jammed packed with treasures, his house looks stunning. Thank you for sharing Jordan
During the early 90s I drove to the museum on three separate occasions from Philadelphia Pa. it takes five hours one way not sure sure I can do that drive anymore all in one day…lol…when Jimmy won the Academy award…Jimmy’s dad called him and told him to send the statue to him and he would display it in the store window and that’s where it stayed for many year’s. Couple years ago I finally found that issue of Life magazine in an antique store…the one with Jimmy on the cover…that made my day take care…peace.
Thank you for this vlog. Love Jimmy Stewart, he's my favorite actor. Watched Harvey and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington numerous times as a kid and always loved his movies. Thank you for sharing all this info on him.
Jimmy Stewart was a great example of a human being. Thanks for the museum tour. Very nicely done. ❤️🙏🏻
Great stuff . Mr Stewart was a gift from God . He indeed had a wonderful life and brought joy to many .
Thank you so much for sharing the museum with us because I've always wanted to go to that museum I looked here in Pennsylvania my whole life I'm not far from there but I just never was able to get there so I appreciate that you shared it with us hope you have a great day. I grew up watching The Wonderful Life in his movies and I'm going to be 46 in September
My favourite film Harvey💕 love James Stewart in that 🐇 brilliant vlog thank you Jordan 👍👍👍👍👍
Jordan, really appreciate this one! I am a huge huge Jimmy Stewart fan, you made my Tuesday entirely 😍❤️Watching from New Zealand with love ❤️
My father grew up outside of Indiana, Pa. and I still have cousins in town. Great Place. I spent many late nights with my dad watching the greatest western ever made The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, my dad always got excited at the scene when Jimmy Stewart knocked John Wayne on his ass.
Dana Carvey doing Jimmy Stewart was a favorite impression. Jimmy was amongst the best in Hollywood. Love him in Vertigo.
I love Jimmy Stewart. How did I not know this place existed!! A friend of my BIL lives in Indiana Pa!

Love Jimmy Stewart!! Awesome to learn more about him and where he came from. Amazing Museum!
I went there a few years ago on a bus tour. Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne were my loves.. lol Love Harvey. Thank you so much for this visit.
Thank You for sharing Amazing Place.
What a fantastic museum! I’m so glad his family allowed so many family items to be placed there. He was just a VERY special actor. Apparently he was a special person as well. I like watching him and Gloria on the ol Jack Benny show. They seemed to fit perfectly together. Thanks Jordan, I appreciate you sharing this with us.
One of my Favorites ! The GLENN MILLER STORY is probably one of my Favorite movies. Jimmy and June Allyson were great together in the movie. Loved all of his films. Great Vlog, Jordan !
Very cool leather directory chair. Wow Jimmy and John were related by marraige. How cool is that. Loved them both. Outstanding actors the both of them. Lovely vlog, Jordan. Thank you so much!! He was very deserving to have his name put on objects!
He was one of my favorite actors. I loved him in glen miller story and its a wonderful life!
Jimmy Stewart was always one of my favorite actors and I enjoyed seeing he grew up thank you Jordan
I know that front door! He would give out big Snickers bars at Halloween.
"My mother used to say to me 'Elwood!' (She always called me Elwood), In this world Elwood? you can be either oh so, smart or oh, so pleasant?'
Well for years I was smart.........I recommend pleasant! You may quote me!" -Jimmy Stewert as Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey. My all-time favorite film and extremely underappreciated and remembered!!!! Brillance!
So, glad they put "Fairfax and 19th" street post for Harvey to sit by. That is where Elwood first heard Harvey speaks to him leaning against the lamp posts. "Good evening Mr. Dowd" which he continues I didn't find odd cause when u live in a small town like this everyone knows your name. . . not because he was freakin' huge speaking white rabbit!!! ROTFL!!!! beautiful.~~
I might could recite the whole film. . . all parts. Ms. Mary Chase deserved that Pulitzer for writing it!!!
RIP- For my dad who loved this film and passed it to me and I searched for it twice when it was out of circulation. . .so, for 2 separate father's day gifts, my dad got Harvey on VHS and about a decade later Harvey on DVD> Watching it now as my father just died last week on April 1st if u can believe it. . . talk about Harvey playing a good joke w/me through dad and the last film we watched together ;) I love you and miss you greatly pops. . .'Say hello to the big fella for me'~~~XoXo
Something I really, really regret not doing is Jimmy Stewert was well known for responding to his 'fan' mail. And if you wrote him, you would receive a personal letter written by him to you in response.
I really, wish I had been older when he was alive to appreciate that sort of unique humanity and quality in a person!
Loved this one! Thank you, Jordan!
My favorite actor as well. What an awesome museum! Thanks Jordan!
I loved Jimmy Stewart's Movies. Especially It's A Wonderful Life, and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Rear Window, Philadelphia Story
That was awesome. Thanks for doing the video. Love it!!
WoW!!! That was fabulous!!! Jimmy is one of my all-time favorites! This place is definitely on my bucket list.
Thanks and safe travels always J&J 🍀

propeller shaft! They were typically signed and or given as commemorative items for numerous reasons!
My favorite actor! Thanks Jordan!! You do a great job!!!❤️
I love Jimmy Stewart I’ve watched every movie I’m in the old movies every single one of them❤️
Fantastic Vlog. I love seeing old memorabilia. Keep up the great work.
I Loved this tour immensely.. Jimmy Stewart was one of my favorite actors / he had so many great movies that i can't name one that stands out over the other... Another actor that reminds me of Jimmy is - Gary Cooper... He too had so many great movies... A few that stand out are Sergeant York & High Noon... Thanks again for taking us along to this museum..
Thank's for the Tour we loved him also . Brian UK !!!. ❤❤
great display of a great actor. thanks for the video.
Thanks for this! The Glenn Miller Story is one of my all-time favorites. Strategic Air Command and The Stratton Story were also major favs of mine.
Wonderful museum. So, beautifully. presented. Thanks Jordan.
A fitting tribute to a great American, and a great actor
Loved this. Love anything about old Hollywood. And you do it so well
Jimmy is my favorite of all time❤ thank you for this awesome video!
Looking forward to seeing this! I was fortunate enough to meet him at one of his Jimmy Stewart Relay Marathons which were a lot of fun.
This is wonderful Jordan thank you so much. 🤗 Loved Jimmy Stewart one truly beloved gentleman. 😘😍❤️💙🌟
OMG did not know about this museum must visit. Thanks Jorden.
Great video, Jordan. Jimmy was a great man, great actor.
Aw this was wonderful thank you for sharing.
I got so excited about this, I have wanted to visit here for the last couple of years. Love Jimmy so much, a great actor & a military man (brigadier general?). So excited to watch!!! 🌼
Jodrdan great vlog I love When you do the museum that you do because I feel that I am there with you
That was a great museum! It really captured Jimmy’s life and spirit. I can’t even tell you which was my favorite part! Thanks for stopping by his house. What a wonderful life he had! Seriously! Indiana University of PA is one of a number of public state universities in PA. I believe it was called, Indiana State College of PA before it received its university status. I actually never made the connection between the two-the town and JS. I just thought it was confusing having a college named after a state, since I lived way on the eastern part of PA. We have a few more people from that Indiana area-ish…Shirley Jones, Perry Como, and Joe Montana to name a few! They used to call that area quarterback country.
Jordan, you can come back and spend a few weeks in Western Pa. sometime to see everything. Shirley Jones' family had a brewery in Smithton, Pa. and both Perry Como and Bobby Vinton are from Canonsburg, Pa. Perry started out as a barber. Joe Montana(Monongahela), Jim Kelly(East Brady), Joe Namath(Beaver Falls), Johnny Unitas(Pgh/Mt. Washington) and Dan Marino(Pgh/Oakland) are a few of the great QBs from W Pa. Stan Musial and Ken Griffey are both from Donora, Pa. Arnold Palmer(Latrobe) and Gene Kelly(Pgh/East Liberty) are famous too and you know about Andy Warhol. Probably missing quite a few others.
@@recyclerhopkins Dan Marino! I couldn’t think of his name! 🙄😂
What a great vlog and a great museum! We learned about Jimmy Stewart's involvement in the Air Force when we visited the National Museum of the mighty 8th in Pooler, GA.
Jimmy Stewart is one of the greatest actors ever and they don't make them like him anymore!
Excellent museum vlog 👌👏👍😀 one of my favourite actors ❤
