Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes

Very inspirational! The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes displays projects developed by students that are heart-​warming and deeply moving. The heroes are now getting their recognition that they deserve for their bravery and ambition to go above and beyond to benefit others. Thanks to the Center these stories can continue to inspire young and old alike.

The Lowell Milken Center is a simply splendid stop in the beautiful town of Fort Scott, Kansas. Located on the quaint main-​street, the center is a literal plethora of information and incredible history. I only had the pleasure of spending a little bit of time there, but it was absolutely time well spent and I learned so much! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and it was clear that they shared a passion for their work and the work of all the contributors that created some of the exhibits at the Center. There are hundreds of stories about incredible people and historical events that are highlighted at the center; in fact, you could easily spend an entire day at the center. Yet even if you are only passing through for an afternoon, this stop will be one that you don’t regret! I would also like to extend a special thank you to Norm, Megan, Ashley, Tab and Kenny; keep up the good work party peeps!

This rare gem is nestled in downtown Fort Scott and is a «must see» when exploring Kansas (it’s a great day trip destination and worth taking the «scenic route» if you are driving through Kansas). Warm staff will greet you as you learn about several local, national, and international unsung heroes while exploring the Center. In an era when we are bombarded with negative news, the stories of unsung heroes will nourish your soul and rejuvenate your belief in the goodness of humanity. Is there any better way to spend your time?
