Lincoln Home National Historic Site Boundary Modification Act
This bill modifies the boundary of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site to include areas depicted on a 2021 map, expanding the protected area around Abraham Lincoln's former home in Springfield, Illinois. It requires the National Park Service to improve accessibility at two specific locations within the site: the intersection of 8th Street and Jackson Street, and the area directly in front of Lincoln's home. These changes involve making these areas accessible without sloped surfaces, using universal design principles. The bill directly affects the Lincoln Home National Historic Site and its visitors by expanding the site's boundaries and mandating physical accessibility improvements.
