Southern Campaign of the Revolution Heritage Area Study Act

H.R. 1289 would direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a formal study to determine if a collection of historical sites in South Carolina and North Carolina should be designated as a National Heritage Area. This study would evaluate the feasibility of linking various Revolutionary War battlefields, parks, and landmarks into a unified commemorative region. For citizens, this designation could eventually lead to increased federal support for historic preservation, enhanced local tourism, and improved educational resources focused on the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution.
