Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area Act of 2005

This bill establishes the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area across several counties in New Jersey to preserve and promote the region's significant Revolutionary War history. It designates a local non-profit organization to manage the area and develop a plan for conserving historical sites, improving tourism, and coordinating educational programs.

For citizens, this legislation provides federal resources and technical assistance to help protect local historic landmarks and structures, potentially boosting regional tourism and economic development. While the bill supports the preservation of historic properties, it explicitly prohibits the management entity from using the specific funds authorized by this act to acquire new real estate.
