This is a museum of Bob Dole and an area for events sponsored by the Dole Institute. The museum shows the history of Bob Dole. The veterans wall is especially moving. The Dole Institute sponsors events throughout the year. Check their website for details.

Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat this is a must see in Lawrence. It is a great tribute to a person who literally spent his entire life in public service. A decorated and wounded veteran of WW II and an affective statesman his entire political career. Although I generally did not agree with Sen. Dole's politics, I respected his positions and particularly his ability to reach across the aisle when things needed to get done.The Institute gives a great insight into Sen. Dole's core and, for some like me, a new appreciation for some of his accomplishments and compromises with great results.It also demonstrates the best of small town America with its focus on Sen. Dole's life in Russell, Kansas.And finally, it gives great honor and homage to those veterans from Kansas who served their country.

The exhibits are excellent, and brings out Sen Dole as a very personable guy, and his many strong characters. We thoroughly enjoy this little museum. The whole thing took about 1-1.5 hours, and we got a better sense of Sen Dole. This country would be a much better place if we have more leaders and politicians like him. The museum is free for all.

This small venue gives the visitor a great view of Bob Dole's life and political career. The stained glass flag is impressive. The visitor can spend little or lots of time and still walk away more informed.

the content was interesting and well displayed- the architecture was more fitting for a memorial- a bit odd

I really enjoyed my visit to the Bob Dole Institute in Lawrence. It is filled with history of the country as well as Dole's personal history. Even if you aren't a fellow Republican, you'll enjoy this look at the history - particularly of the 1970s and 1980s. If you call ahead of time and make arrangements, you can take a visit to the archives downstairs. It's well worth checking out!

This is an awesome addition to the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, Ks. Walking into this building you are immediately struck by the awesome display which honors the American veteran and their contributions to our country. The Institute offers wonderful lecture series covering a wide variety of topics relevant to US and global history and current events. Many of the lectures are seen on C-Span. I would recommend people take advantage of this wonderful institute and all that can be learned from the lecture series and the guest speakers who appear.

Even if you never supported Dole or the Republican Party, this institute is a treasure trove of history from a Washington insider. The Johnny Carson Tonight Show video with Dole is worth the visit by itself. Be sure to plan ahead and ask for a back room "white glove" tour to see the wonderful archival materials and memorabilia that covers decades.

Loved the Author's Visit.. A chance to hear her speak about her experience left you feeling like you had really been on the battlefield with her. Would go again.. and to top it all.. it's FREE!!

The institute provides an eccellent biographic view of Dole's entire life. Exhibits show him as a boy in western Kansas during the Great Depression, a young lieutenant during WWII, to a small town lawyer turned politician. Nit only can you kesrn about Dole, but you can lesrn about the times and places in whivh he lived.
