In 2002, the board of directors for the DQCF changed the name of the facility from The Dan Quayle Center and Museum to The Dan Quayle Center home of the United States Vice Presidential Museum. In 2008, the board of directors changed the name to The Quayle Vice Presidential Learning Center.Special attention is paid to the six vice presidents hailing from Indiana—Schuyler Colfax, Thomas Hendricks, Charles Fairbanks, Thomas Marshall, Dan Quayle, and Mike Pence—and the three losing vice presidential candidates: George W. Julian, William H. English, and John W. Kern. At one time in American history, Indiana was a vital "swing state;" as such, it provided numerous candidates for Vice President.
