HR 5878 United States House · 118th Congress

Quindaro Townsite National Historic Landmark Act

This bill designates the Quindaro Townsite in Kansas City, Kansas, as a National Historic Landmark, officially recognizing its historical significance. It directly affects local preservation groups, Kansas City officials, and property owners in the area by establishing a formal framework for protecting and interpreting the site. Key provisions include enabling cooperative agreements with local entities for preservation and public education, while clarifying that the designation does not restrict property owners' rights or override local administration. The landmark status acknowledges Quindaro's role in the anti-slavery movement, the Underground Railroad, and its archaeological value during the "Bleeding Kansas" era.
