Prairie du Rocher French Colonial National Historical Park Establishment Act

This bill establishes the Prairie du Rocher French Colonial National Historical Park in Illinois to preserve and interpret French colonial history. It designates specific sites - including Fort de Chartres, the Creole House, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ convent, and Kaskaskia remains - as part of the park. The National Park Service will manage the park, using the Adorers convent for an interpretive visitor center and collaborating with local governments. The park focuses on educating the public about the region’s French colonial heritage, multi-ethnic communities, and contributions of religious women and early enslaved laborers.
