Much like a deputized marshal might quietly gain ground on a fugitive, the U.S. Marshals Museum is striding past important landmarks. In formally selecting an architectural firm and naming a foundation board, the USMM board of directors has provided all the tools necessary for a national fund-raising campaign.

It will be a quiet effort, to be sure. So, unless you are capable of contributing $1 million or more, don’t count on hearing much about the fund drive for awhile. And if you do have the means and would like to contribute but no one calls you, then please call the U.S. Marshals Museum! They’d love to talk to you!

Meanwhile, read here, here, and here about last week’s accomplishments.
