This bill, titled the Washington's Trail--1753 National Historic Trail Feasibility Study Act of 2026 , mandates a study to determine the viability of establishing Washington's Trail--1753 as a national historic trail. It specifically amends the National Trails System Act to include this directive for the Secretary of the Interior. The proposed trail covers an approximate 500-mile route , originating in Williamsburg, Virginia, and concluding at Fort LeBoeuf (now Waterford), Pennsylvania. This path commemorates George Washington's diplomatic mission undertaken from October 1753 to January 1754, on behalf of Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie, to the French just before the outbreak of the French and Indian War.
