We really enjoyed this museum. The massive amount of detail about the US Marshals Service was very impressive.
[Sheryl, 10/23/2023]
Paid a visit to the newly open US Marshals Museum. Have to say I was highly impressed by all the interactive exhibits teaching about the history of the US Marshal service. Learned new things about the Marshals -- how they were at one time responsible as census workers, and how Frederick Douglas served as Marshal until 1881. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves American history and has an appreciation for law enforcement. Admission prices ($13) are reasonable for any museum.
