On the cusp of becoming one of the nation’s top experiential museums, the United States Marshals Museum is dedicated to honoring the history of the U.S. Marshals – the oldest law enforcement agency in the country. A highly competitive site selection process culminated with the announcement that Fort Smith, Arkansas would be the home of the U.S. Marshals Museum. Bringing this Museum to life has required the endurance and unwavering dedication of the Museum staff and Board of Directors, Museum Foundation staff and Board of Directors, the community, and many generous donors.

While the U.S. Marshals Museum honors a federal law enforcement agency, the Museum is not federally funded. Requiring an investment of nearly $50 million, this project is being financed almost entirely by the generosity of foundations, businesses, and individuals and supported in part by local and state government entities.
