Marshall House, Proposed Affiliated Area," numbered 999/189,974 and dated September 2023. The George C. Marshall International Center is named as the management entity for the site. The Secretary of the Interior may give technical help and enter cooperative agreements to provide financial assistance for marketing, marking, interpretation, and preservation.
