Executive Summary

Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Establishment Act Amendments Act of 2025

This bill expands the boundaries of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont, allows the National Park Service (NPS) to acquire land within the boundaries through a variety of means, and provides statutory authority for the National Park Service Stewardship Institute, which is a program of the park.

Specifically, the bill expands the boundary of the park to include the King Farm.

The bill also outlines the purposes of the National Park Service Stewardship Institute.
