Bill Would Expand Manassas National Battlefield Park
Rep. Herbert E. Harris proposes adding 1500 acres to Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia, to be acquired by the Interior Department through purchase donation exchange or easement, not condemnation. The expansion would protect Civil War sites including Groveton village landmarks and shrapnel trees amid local development pressures.
