点评:This museum is a new addition to Fort Smith and is beautifully set along the river with a small green space and walkway outside. The location of this museum makes sense given Fort Smith's history (look up Judge Parker aka the Hanging Judge). It is a lovely building inside and out and the exhibits are nicely done. It is more reading than objects to see, but I learned a lot about the US Marshals. Did you know that they are the first Federal Law Enforcement and were created by George Washington in 1789? I don't know about you, but I didn't and there's a lot more history inside this museum you can learn. There's a lot more to the Marshal Service than the Old West. Go and learn for yourself.
Also make sure you head outside and see the neat statue and the Arkansas River up close.
翻译:这座博物馆是史密斯堡的新建项目,坐落在风景优美的河畔,外面有一小片绿地和人行道。考虑到史密斯堡的历史(例如帕克法官,又名绞刑法官),这座博物馆的位置非常合理。博物馆内外都很漂亮,展品也做得很好。虽然博物馆的阅读价值大于观赏价值,但我从中学到了很多关于美国法警的知识。你知道他们是第一支联邦执法部队,由乔治·华盛顿于 1789 年创建吗?我不知道你是怎么想的,但我当时并不知道。这座博物馆里还有很多历史可以让你了解。法警署的历史远比旧西部丰富多彩。你自己去了解吧。
也别忘了去博物馆外面近距离欣赏那座精美的雕像和阿肯色河。
