The James Dean Memorial in Cholame


James Dean Memorial Junction at the Intersection of 46 and 41
On September 30th, 1955, James Dean died in a terrible car crash on what is now Highway 46 (then numbered 466). Located a short distance away from the crash site is a sculpture made of concrete and stainless steel surrounding a tree outside the Cholame "post office" and Jack Ranch Cafe. This is the James Dean Memorial. It was made in Japan in 1977 and the entire project was done by Seita Ohnishi. The location of the actual crash site, the intersection of Highways 41 and 46 was dedicated the James Dean Memorial Highway in September 2005.
