Bill > HR4566

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study for potentially designating Washington's Trail—1753 as a national historic trail. Specifically, the bill would amend the National Trails System Act to add a provision studying a historic route taken by George Washington during his diplomatic mission from October 31, 1753, to January 16, 1754. The proposed trail would extend approximately from Williamsburg, Virginia, to Fort LeBoeuf (now Waterford), Pennsylvania, and follows the path Washington traveled while on an official mission for Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie to engage with French representatives, just before the outbreak of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The feasibility study would evaluate the potential for establishing this route as a national historic trail, which would help preserve and commemorate an important early moment in George Washington's career and American colonial history.
