GAS CITY, Ind. - The museum chronicling the short life of James Dean has closed after struggling financially since its opening in 2004.
David Loehr, owner of the James Dean Gallery, announced in December that he planned to close the museum, but an outpouring of contributions led him to give it another try.
It ultimately shut down at the end of February, though, and Loehr has packed up and placed the memorabilia in storage.
David Loehr is also the man behind the Rockabilly Rebel Week-Ender (a national event spanning fourteen years) and is usually involved in Fairmount's James Dean Days.
You gave it a good go, Dave! Good luck with your future projects.
