Quindaro Townsite National Historic Landmark Act
This bill designates the Quindaro Townsite in Kansas City, Kansas, as the Quindaro Townsite National Historic Landmark. This formal recognition highlights the site's historical significance, particularly its role in the Free-State movement and the Underground Railroad. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private entities to protect the site's historic resources and provide educational programs, offering technical and financial assistance for these efforts. Importantly, the designation does not restrict actions by property owners within the landmark area nor affect its current administration by Kansas City, Kansas, or the State.
