Washington’s Trail—1753 National Historic Trail Feasibility Study Act of 2024
This bill directs the National Park Service to conduct a feasibility study for designating Washington’s Trail - 1753 as a National Historic Trail. The study will examine a 500-mile route from Williamsburg, Virginia, to Waterford, Pennsylvania, following George Washington’s 1753 diplomatic journey. It focuses on the route’s historical significance and practicality for official designation under the National Trails System Act. The bill itself only authorizes the study - not the trail’s creation - and affects no specific communities or entities beyond the study’s scope.
