S 4607 United States Senate · 118th Congress

America's National Churchill Museum National Historic Landmark Act

This bill designates the America's National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, as a National Historic Landmark. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter cooperative agreements with local entities (including the College, City, and State) to protect the site and provide public educational programs, while explicitly stating the designation does not restrict property owners' rights or alter existing administration by the College or local governments. The bill also requires a 3-year study to evaluate the site's national significance and explore options for federal involvement, including potential National Park System designation, but does not implement any immediate changes to the museum's status or operations.
