More information on Federal Bureau of Investigation

In operation since 1908, the FBI has long been tracking the nation's "Most Wanted," using the best methods known to science. Learn about the fingerprinting process, the high-tech labs, and the history of the FBI, from its struggles with syndicated crime to Cold War adversaries. Among the notable items on display is gangster John Dillinger's death mask. A brief film describes the bureau's work. Tours last about an hour, but the wait can be twice that long during the peak summer season. Admission is free. Due to heightened security concerns, public tours are temporarily suspended until further notice.
