The U.S. Marshals Museum tells the story of our nations’ Marshals.

The opening culminates more than 16 years of fundraising, design, construction and installation. In 2007, after a rigorous selection process, the United States Marshals Service (USMS) chose Fort Smith, Arkansas, as the permanent home for its national museum. After that, a diverse group of volunteers, staff, community leaders, and elected representatives from throughout Arkansas and across the nation worked alongside the USMS to build a world-class facility on the banks of the Arkansas River. The U.S. Marshals Museum opened on July 1st, 2023.

After years of preparation, the US Marshals Museum opened on July 1st,2023. The 53,000 square foot Mary Carleton and Robert A. Young III Building and Samuel M. Sicard Hall of Honor were dedicated on September 24, 2019 along the banks of the Arkansas River in Fort Smith. Featuring an iconic design, the Museum shares the stories of justice, integrity, and service of the Marshals who have bravely served our nation.
