Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Establishment Act Amendments Act of 2025
Introduced Feb 5, 2025 by Sen. Peter Welch
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill expands the boundaries of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont, allows the National Park Service (NPS) to acquire land within the boundaries through a variety of means, and provides statutory authority for the National Park Service Stewardship Institute, which is a program of the park.
Specifically, the bill expands the boundary of the park to include the King Farm.
The bill also allows the NPS to acquire lands within the park by purchasing, transferring, or exchanging land in addition to the current authorization to acquire land by donation.
The acquired King Farm land must include rights of access between the acquired land and the park. The acquired King Farm land may be used for certain agricultural, forestry, conservation, and educational purposes.
