Bob’s Diner has been a fixture of Liberal for multiple decades, first residing on Kansas Avenue and then moving to the Mid-America Air Museum in 2020.
Soon, however, the diner could be moving to a new home on the grounds of the Coronado Museum. Coronado Museum Director Nathan Dowell and MAAM Director Bob Immell said discussions started a while ago regarding the project.
“It was earlier this year when MAAM and the City of Liberal reached out to us at the Coronado Museum. They’d been discussing the idea for a little while of making some more room at MAAM, and ultimately, they thought there might be a better spot for Bob’s Diner somewhere else in town,” Dowell said. “So they reached out to us, and we were definitely interested in the opportunity, so we were really happy to receive that call.”
