HR 1232 United States House · 118th Congress

Fort Pillow National Battlefield Park Study Act

HR 1232, the Fort Pillow National Battlefield Park Study Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study evaluating whether Fort Pillow Historic State Park in Tennessee should become a National Battlefield Park. The study will assess the site's national significance related to the 1864 Civil War massacre where many U.S. Colored Troops were killed after surrendering, and determine the feasibility of designating it as a National Historic Park unit. This bill authorizes a review process but does not create the park or change current status. The study would examine the park's 1,642 acres, museum, and historical resources as part of the evaluation. This procedural step is required before any potential designation as a National Battlefield Park.
