Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes

Fort Scott, KS | Bourbon County

This state-of-the-art exhibition space recognizes unsung heroes who stood up for others, often at great risk to themselves. Their compelling stories are told through interactive kiosks and displays. Two of these brave heroes are Irena Sendler, a Polish social worker who rescued more than 2,500 Jewish children during WWII; and Ken Reinhardt, who befriended the first black students to attend his high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. Additional heroes are recognized every year. The center is named for international philanthropist and education supporter Lowell Milken. Visit the newest addition next door, the Lowell Milken Park, a new park and outdoor exhibit space opened in 2022.
