Fort Pillow National Battlefield Park Study Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of Fort Pillow Historic State Park in Henning, Tennessee. The site is where a Civil War battle and massacre took place on April 12, 1864, involving Union troops that included United States Colored Troops. The study would evaluate whether the site is nationally significant. It would also determine whether it is suitable and feasible to make the site part of the national park system.
