“To preserve our vibrant democracy for future generations, I believe it is critical to have a place where citizens can go to learn first-hand about the Senate's important role in our system of government.” — Senator Edward M. Kennedy
Those iconic words from the Senator are what drive the important work we do here at the Kennedy Institute each day.
Envisioned by the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Kennedy Institute is dedicated to educating the public about the important role of the Senate in government, encouraging civic participation, and invigorating civil discourse. We invite you to visit our interactive exhibits and topical programs, and engage in meaningful conversations about the essential role we each play in our democracy.
Our important work would not be possible without visitors and supporters like you. We hope to see you soon on Columbia Point.
