The museum of American Political Life explores the history of American politics and presidential campaigns. Serving the academic community and a wide audience with permanent and temporary exhibits, public lectures, outreach programs, and special tours, the Museum is designed to evoke interest and participation in the spirit of our political process. For scholars, it is a resource for primary research materials and provides a focus for the study and teaching of American presidential campaigns. The museum collects, preserves and exhibits artifacts and other materials relating to presidential campaigns, presidents and the electoral process. The museum also welcomes donations of uncommon political materials.
