To designate the General George C. Marshall House, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill would officially designate the General George C. Marshall House, located in Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System. Affiliated areas are historic sites and heritage properties that meet National Park standards but are not directly operated by the federal government. This designation would recognize the historical significance of the Marshall House while potentially providing it with technical assistance, educational resources, and increased visibility through the National Park System.
If enacted, the bill would honor General George C. Marshall's legacy and contributions to U.S. history. The designation would not necessarily require federal funding or direct management of the property, but would formally associate it with the National Park System. The bill has passed committee review and is now eligible for a floor vote in the House of Representatives.
