Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act

United States119th CongressHR-4467House of Representatives
Updated: Mar 17, 2026

Summary

This legislation mandates the Secretary of the Interior to transfer specific federal land parcels from the Vicksburg National Military Park to the State of Mississippi. These transfers will occur without monetary consideration, though they are subject to terms and conditions set by the Secretary. The bill details two distinct parcels for conveyance: approximately 3.66 acres designated for a welcome center or other public use, and about 6.48 acres intended for an interpretive center, museum, or similar public facility. Both parcels are currently within the Vicksburg National Military Park boundary. Following the successful conveyance of these lands, the Secretary is required to officially modify the boundary of the Vicksburg National Military Park to reflect the removal of these parcels from its jurisdiction. This ensures the park's official records align with the new land ownership and usage.
