A bill to establish the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Jefferson College as affiliated areas of the National Park System, and for other purposes.
Mississippi Historic Sites: National Park Affiliation
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill would give two historic sites in Natchez, Mississippi, a special connection to the National Park System. The Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Historic Jefferson College would become "affiliated areas," meaning they are recognized as having national historical importance.
- The state of Mississippi would still own and manage the land through its Department of Archives and History. The federal government will not buy the property or take over the daily costs of running the sites, such as maintenance, repairs, or staffing.
- The National Park Service would provide expert help and some funding for things like marketing, educational signs, and preserving the buildings. This partnership is designed to help more people learn about the history of the Natchez Indians and the first college in Mississippi.
