Key Points
- Congress would expand the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park boundary using an updated 2023 park map.
- The expanded park would cover key areas like the mansion area, parts of Mt. Tom, the Billings Farm and Museum area, and the King Farm.
- The National Park Service could add land inside the new boundary through donations, buying from willing sellers, land swaps, or transfers from other federal agencies.
- If the Park Service acquires the King Farm, it could still be used as a working farm and forest, plus for conservation and education programs.
- The bill would also set up a National Park Service Stewardship Institute at the park to run workshops and programs on conservation and land-care best practices.
