Salem Maritime National Historical Park Redesignation and Boundary Study Act

This legislation proposes to redesignate the Salem Maritime National Historic Site in Massachusetts as the Salem Maritime National Historical Park. This change in title often reflects a larger or more complex area containing a variety of resources, though the site would remain under the management of the National Park Service.

Additionally, the bill would require the Department of the Interior to conduct a formal boundary study. This study would evaluate whether it is feasible and suitable to expand the park to include additional sites in the surrounding area. The focus of the expansion would be on locations tied to the region's maritime history, coastal defenses, and military heritage.
