Summary of Bill HR 87

Bill 114 hr 87, also known as the Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment and Parker's Crossroads Battlefield Designation Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to make changes to the boundaries of the Shiloh National Military Park in Tennessee. The bill also seeks to designate the Parker's Crossroads Battlefield as a new unit of the National Park System.

The Shiloh National Military Park is currently a 4,200-acre park that commemorates the Battle of Shiloh, which took place during the Civil War in April 1862. The park is located in southwestern Tennessee and is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and tourists.

The proposed boundary adjustment would expand the park by approximately 2,000 acres, allowing for the preservation of additional historic sites and battlefields related to the Battle of Shiloh. This expansion would help to protect and interpret more of the important historical events that took place during the Civil War in this area.

Designating this battlefield as a national park unit would help to preserve and interpret the history of this important event for future generations. Overall, the Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment and Parker's Crossroads Battlefield Designation Act aims to expand the protection of historic sites related to the Civil War in Tennessee and ensure that these important events are preserved and interpreted for years to come.
