Fairmont Indiana is where an extensive collection of James  Dean memorabilia can be found. James Dean was born in Marion Indiana and his family moved to Fairmont.
Shops in Fairmont have a wide variety of souvenirs to chose from.

Every September fans come to Fairmont to remember James Dean even after all these years. We drove to Fairmont to see his final resting place and flowers adorn his grave like it was yesterday. If you are a James Dean fan you will love Fairmont Indiana.

Note: We were staying in Downtown Chicago and drove down to Fairmont for the day.

It is approx. a 3 1/2 hour drive from the Windy City.
