Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act

What this bill does

  • The bill directs the Interior Department to give about 7 acres of land within Vicksburg National Military Park to Mississippi.
  • Mississippi will use the land to build an interpretive center that provides public access to the park.
  • The land transfer happens at no cost, and Interior can set conditions to protect park resources.

  1. 01

    How would an interpretive center on this transferred land improve visitor understanding of the Vicksburg battlefield compared to existing park facilities?

  2. 02

    What conditions should the Interior Department impose on Mississippi to ensure the transferred land remains compatible with the park's historical mission?

  3. 03

    Why should federal parkland be transferred to state control rather than having the National Park Service develop interpretive facilities directly?
