Fort Pillow National Battlefield Park Study Act

HR 926, the Fort Pillow National Battlefield Park Study Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of Fort Pillow Historic State Park in Tennessee. The study will evaluate the site's national significance and determine if designating it as a National Battlefield Park is suitable and feasible. This bill does not change the park's current status as a state park (established 1971) or its existing National Register and National Historic Landmark designations. The study is prompted by the historical importance of the 1864 Fort Pillow Massacre, particularly its impact on U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War, as detailed in congressional findings. The bill itself is procedural, focusing solely on authorizing the study to inform potential future designation.
