    How would renaming the park from 'Historical Park' to 'Battlefield Park' change how visitors understand the site's significance?

  2. 02

    What motivated Congress to pursue this naming change, and does the current name inadequately reflect the Revolutionary War battles fought there?

  3. 03

    Are there ongoing efforts to rename other national historical sites, and what criteria should determine when such changes are worthwhile?
