July 25 has been set by the U. S. Marshals Museum for its third Descendants Day. The event is to give residents of the community an opportunity to share their stories, photographs, documents and other artifacts. According to curator of collections and exhibits for the museum, Jessica Hougen, they hope to hear from descendants of U. S. Marshals, Deputy Marshals, posse and outlaws in an effort to share the heritage that the region has with the U. S. Marshals Service.
The Descendants Day is a drop-in event from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the foot of the Garrison Ave Bridge at the Frisco Station. A short talk will be given at 1 p.m. by author Robert Ernest. Admission is free. Food will be available for purchase from local food trucks. The first two Descendants Day were held in 2004 and 2007.
