S. 2644, the Camden National Battlefield Park Study Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study examining whether the Camden Battlefield area in South Carolina should become a unit of the National Park System. The study will evaluate the historical significance of the site—which includes the location of the Battle of Camden fought during the Revolutionary War on August 16, 1780, and related historic resources—and assess the practical feasibility of establishing it as a national park. The Secretary must also explore different protection and management options, including partnerships with local governments, nonprofits, and private organizations, and determine the costs associated with federal development and operation. A detailed report with findings and recommendations must be submitted to Congress within three years of receiving funding for the study. The legislation affects South Carolina residents, history enthusiasts, and potential visitors to the area, while requiring federal resources to complete the feasibility assessment.
