The bill designates America's National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, as a National Historic Landmark. It allows the Interior Secretary to work with public or private groups on protecting historic resources and providing public education programs. The Secretary must also study the site's national significance and whether it could become part of the National Park System. The study must consider other preservation options and report its findings and recommendations to Congress. The designation does not prevent property owners from taking actions they could otherwise take, and it does not change who administers the site.
The bill could support public education programs at the museum through cooperative agreements. It does not change the site's administration or limit property owners' actions. The study will consider possible future federal roles, but the bill does not designate the site as a National Park System unit.
The bill does not state a total cost. It allows the Secretary to provide technical and financial assistance to groups with cooperative agreements. The required study must identify cost estimates for federal acquisition, development, interpretation, operation, and maintenance under the alternatives it considers.
