Tour offers peek at unique Dole artifacts
Want to see a bottle of wine enameled with Bob Dole’s political achievements?
The public will get that opportunity during a tour at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Dole Institute of Politics. The bottle will be part of the new Staff Choice exhibit at the Dole Institute.
The 30-minute tour will give participants a behind-the-scenes look at the Dole Institute’s reading room, archival processing and stacks.
Other artifacts available for viewing in the exhibit include a beaded cummerbund and Dole’s 1996 presidential nomination acceptance speech.
