U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Museum

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Museum documents, preserves, and interprets the history of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, fish and wildlife conservation in the United States, and the American conservation movement. Our collection of more than 100,000 objects, which we manage in trust for the American people, includes the Rachel Carson Collection (Rachel Carson worked for our agency from 1936-1952), the National Wildlife Federation Art Collection, the Bob Hines Art Collection, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Archival Collection, and thousands of diverse artifacts, specimens, and archival materials that illustrate the establishment and ongoing evolution of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the history of conservation and environmental stewardship in the United States.
