Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act

The Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act proposes the transfer of two parcels of federal land, totaling roughly 7.43 acres, from the Department of the Interior to the State of Mississippi. This land, currently part of the Vicksburg National Military Park, would be conveyed without financial cost to the state. Once the transfer is complete, the bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to officially modify the park's boundaries to exclude these areas.

The primary goal of this land transfer is to facilitate the construction of a new, modernized visitor center and interpretive museum. By moving these facilities to state-owned land, the project aims to improve public access and enhance the educational experience for visitors learning about the American Civil War. The bill specifies that the land must be used for these public purposes and allows the Secretary of the Interior to place additional restrictions on its use to ensure it remains dedicated to serving park visitors.
