Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail Designation Act
This bill designates the Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail to honor the Revolutionary War intelligence network led by George Washington. The legislation officially adds a 50-mile route across Long Island's North Shore to the National Trails System, connecting historical sites like Raynham Hall and the Brewster House used by spies during the war. It establishes the North Shore Promotion Alliance as the organization responsible for administering the trail in cooperation with the Secretary of the Interior. By amending the National Trails System Act, the bill ensures these locations are recognized and preserved for public education and tourism.
