Today, the museum ranks among the most visited commemorative institutions in the country.

Only the rarest of people truly leave a mark on their chosen fields. Rarer still are those whose legacies impact, in a markedly positive way, multiple fields. The late U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan was one of those rarest of the rare. What set Berrigan apart, even more than her professional accomplishments, was the way she treated people — with unconditional compassion, kindness and, perhaps most disarming of all, good humor.
