Washington’s Trail—1753 National Historic Trail Feasibility Study Act of 2025

This legislation, known as the Washington's Trail--1753 National Historic Trail Feasibility Study Act of 2025 , mandates the Secretary of the Interior to undertake a comprehensive study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of officially designating Washington's Trail-1753 as a national historic trail under the National Trails System Act. The proposed trail is approximately 500 miles long, beginning in Williamsburg, Virginia, and extending to Fort LeBoeuf (now Waterford), Pennsylvania. It specifically traces the historical path taken by George Washington and his party during his diplomatic mission from October 1753 to January 1754, a pivotal journey just before the commencement of the French and Indian War.
