    A very interesting walk through history. Some very interesting information though out history. Gotta figure out how to get my photos in the correct order

    I was so impressed with the museum! Very moved by exhibits of many things that have happened in our lifetime. Jack was very helpful and informative! Someone dissed the pricing in a review. I totally disagree. It was well worth the reasonable entrance fee!

    The United States (US) Marshals Museum is a great place to visit if you're in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The museum depicts the history of the US Marshals, and how The US Marshals have paralleled our nations history since George Washington. The museum is located near the Arkansas River, next to a gorgeous bike trail, where you can rent a bike or ride your own bike. The staff are exceptional, it's a great place to spend the day.

I could write for days about such a thing, but that takes away from the museum. The museum has a few exhibits for free in the lobby. If you want to see the rest of the first, and the second floor, it's $5.00 for adults, which isn't bad, considering the amount of information and the orderly way in which it's presented. Of course, flash photography is not wanted, as it can cause older items to deteriorate more quickly. They had early maps of the area, including a French map of the Native American Indians, which was quite informative. A handy guide to French would have made it accessible to everyone. They presented many items from the 1800s and early 1900s throughout the building, including vehicles, tools, and clothing. There were newspaper articles explaining events. I was surprised to see the creative use of typography, given the difficulty of manually assembling a page of metallic type. Along with this, they showed a couple of printing presses. On the second floor, they went into later years, up through the 1960s, and touched on subjects more likely to still be on the minds of older generations in the area. I suspect that school kids will go to the museum no matter what, but those who don't know about the history of the area should take the trip. Besides, feeding a museum in order to help preserve your history isn't a bad thing at all.

It's a fascinating history And one that you have to spend a little bit of time going to the museum and understanding the different angles. I guess that's a purpose of a museum, right? We learned a little bit about Judge Isaac, Parker, as one of the first influences that had to deal with the wild West murderers and people committing heinous crimes that until he arrived, didn't face many consequences as there was no federal government system that was in control of the area and the tribunal process did not cover non-native Americans. Fascinating history. You can even see a replica of the courthouse as well as the gallows as they were over 160 people hang here. Take a rock across the railroad tracks and read a bit about the trail of tears. There are plenty of areas to contemplate the history. Bring a picnic, there are many places to relax and spread out. The museum is actually free, is air-conditioned and had clean restrooms

    Really interesting historical site. We've been to a ton of National Parks and National Monuments /…read moreHistorical Sites. This is top 10 for sure!

    "The Haircut Heard 'Round the World!"…read more Amazing!!!!!!! Ooh wow! A true surprise! Fort Chaffee Elvis Barbershop Museum needs to have all Arkansas school tour here--history comes alive in ways that'll have you questioning if you've accidentally walked onto the set of a time-travel movie. First of all, let me just say--you NEVER know who you're going to meet. Maybe a Vietnam Veteran? Perhaps a Vietnamese or Cuban refugee? Elvis' old barber? Ok maybe his spirit (Spoiler: You won't get a free haircut, but you'll leave with plenty of stories that'll be stuck in your head forever, like a bad perm.) The volunteers here? Absolute legends. They share stories that are slowly fading from our history books, like handwritten notes passed in class--except these notes are about your grandparents' and parents' lives and the crazy part is... they made history! It's like you're reading the behind-the-scenes bloopers of world events, minus the bloopers, plus a lot of heart. Of course, the big draw here is Elvis. Yes, that Elvis. You can check out where he got his famous Army buzz cut and feel closer to The King's scalp than ever before. But this museum is about so much more. It's a hidden gem of real people's lives and the history they shaped--from Vietnam to Cuba, from military life to the rock and roll royalty himself. Oh, and one last thing... do yourself a favor and check out the bathrooms. History isn't the only thing that happens there... Thank you Ladies for keeping history alive and allowing my parents go down memory lane. And don't let the front door sign fool you, Elvis has not left the building !
