Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The United States Marshals Museum is a museum located in Fort Smith, Arkansas and dedicated to disseminating knowledge and inspiring appreciation of the accomplishments of the United States Marshal Service. The museum is located adjacent to the Fort Smith Riverfront Trail, along the banks of the Arkansas River, just north of the downtown Fort Smith area.
Prior to 2003, the US Marshal Museum was located in Laramie, Wyoming. That year the museum was closed and the artifacts were put into storage. The US Marshals Service began the process of identifying a permanent location for the museum. On January 4, 2007, US Marshals Director John F. Clark announced that Fort Smith had been selected as the location for a permanent US Marshals Museum. This announcement was the culmination of a two year study that considered a number of locations including Washington, DC and Laramie, Wyoming.[3]
The museum received about $3 million in proceeds generated by the United States Marshals Service 225th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act, passed in 2016.[4] In 2019, Fort Smith voters rejected a temporary one cent sales tax to fund the museum's completion. Despite this setback, museum organizers raised almost $50 million in donations to complete the museum.[5]
The opening ceremony for the museum was held on June 29, 2023. Attendees included United States Senator John Boozman, United States House Representative Steve Womack and Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.[6] The museum opened its doors to the public on July 1, 2023.[7] The museum's opening was subsequently lauded in an op-ed piece by Senator Boozman.[8]
Museum organization
The museum is organized into several sections and galleries. The first gallery, "To Be a Marshal", explains the founding of the US Marshals and gives the visitor a broad overview of their history. "The Campfire" is a stage setting where stories of US Marshals are told. The "Frontier Marshals" section highlights the popular role that US marshals played in the development of the western frontier. "A Changing Nation" highlights the role of marshals in the times such as Prohibition and the Civil Rights Movement. "Modern Marshals" depicts the role marshals play in current society, and the last section, "Stories of the Fallen", highlights those marshals who gave their life in service.[9]
Comment: Not much was done since previous decline. There are still unsourced statements. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:11, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
