Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to study whether the Canterbury Shaker Village site in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, should be officially designated as a National Heritage Area. Canterbury Shaker Village is a historically significant former Shaker community, established in 1792, that later became a nonprofit museum and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. The Secretary would conduct the study in consultation with state and local historic preservation offices, historical societies, tourism agencies, and other relevant groups, following standard federal procedures for such feasibility studies. The bill does not designate the heritage area itself, only authorizes the assessment process, and sets no specific funding amount or completion deadline. This legislation primarily affects residents of the surrounding New Hampshire community and stakeholders interested in historic preservation and tourism development at the site.
