Canterbury Shaker Village National Heritage Area Study Authorization Act

This bill authorizes a study to assess whether Canterbury Shaker Village in New Hampshire should be designated a National Heritage Area. The study, led by the Secretary of the Interior with input from state and local groups, will evaluate the site's suitability and feasibility as a National Heritage Area. The bill directly affects the Canterbury Shaker Village National Historic Landmark - covering 700 acres, 25 buildings, and significant historical resources - by initiating a formal review of its potential designation. It does not create the heritage area itself, only authorizes the study process. The focus is on evaluating the site's historical significance, educational value, and community impact.
