Hidden Histories & Hometown Legacies

(00:00:00) In this episode, we uncover two remarkable stories where tradition and place intersect in unexpected ways. First, we turn to the quiet legacy of Hollywood icon Jimmy Stewart, whose deep pride in his Indiana, Pennsylvania roots led to the creation of a humble yet powerful museum honoring his life as an actor, WWII hero, family man, and global citizen. From sacred symbols to silver-screen legends, this episode celebrates the enduring impact of history preserved close to home.  (00:22:42) Then, we explore the beloved Moravian star, an Advent symbol that shines in homes and churches around the world and the surprising discovery of its original maker, found not in Germany, but in the Moravian Archives of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
