Washington’s Trail—1753 National Historic Trail Feasibility Study Act of 2026
Refreshed 2 h ago

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add Washington's Trail--1753 to the list of routes in the National Trails System Act that the Secretary of the Interior is directed to study for possible designation as a national historic trail. The route runs about 500 miles from Williamsburg, Virginia, to Fort LeBoeuf (now Waterford), Pennsylvania. It follows the path George Washington and his party took on a diplomatic mission to the French for Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie from October 31, 1753, to January 16, 1754, just before the French and Indian War. The bill directs a study only and does not itself designate the trail.
