The James Dean Museum and Garfield Museum
Garfield the cat, one of the world’s most recognizable and merchandisable comic strip characters, was brought to life by a rural Indiana cartoonist. From those humble origins, Garfield has grown into the world’s most syndicated comic strip, running in thousands of newspapers for the last several decades. The comic strip’s author, Jim Davis, also happens to come from the same part of Indiana as another pop culture phenomenon: James Dean. Together, these two are commemorated in one single small museum in Fairmount.
