Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Establishment Act Amendments Act of 2025
HR 986 expands the boundaries of Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont to include the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller Mansion, surrounding buildings, part of Mt. Tom, Billings Farm and Museum, and the King Farm (divided between historic and protection zones). It clarifies land acquisition rules for the King Farm area, requiring access rights for the park and allowing acquired land to be used for agriculture, forestry, conservation, and educational activities. The bill also establishes the National Park Service Stewardship Institute at the park to promote conservation workshops, research, and community engagement. These changes directly affect park management, land use policies, and operations at the King Farm and adjacent areas.
