Salem Maritime National Historical Park Redesignation and Boundary Study Act

H.R. 1647 would officially rename the Salem Maritime National Historic Site in Massachusetts to the Salem Maritime National Historical Park. The bill also directs the Department of the Interior to conduct a study to determine if additional historic sites related to the area's maritime history and coastal defenses should be added to the park’s boundaries. For citizens and visitors, this change aims to better reflect the site's historical significance and could eventually lead to the preservation and public accessibility of more historical landmarks in the Salem area.
