United States Vice Presidential Museum

The United States Vice Presidential Museum occupies a renovated Christian Science Church building in Huntington with two floors of exhibits and educational displays. The space blends the original architecture of the church structure with modern presentation areas for historical objects and information.

The museum was founded in 1993 through the Dan Quayle Commemorative Foundation and received its current name in 2002 to reflect a broader focus on all vice presidents. This name change marked an expansion of the collection beyond individual figures to a comprehensive presentation of the office.

The exhibits feature personal objects and memorabilia from vice presidents, with particular focus on those connected to Indiana. Visitors encounter the stories of individuals who held these offices and their role in American history.

The museum spans both floors with clearly marked areas that help visitors navigate the exhibition easily. Plan enough time for a comfortable visit since the exhibits contain detailed information to read through.

One of the most noteworthy attractions in the collection is a chewed law degree that belonged to Dan Quayle and was damaged by his dog. This unusual piece shows that museum collections do not always need to be formal in nature.
