This bill designates the Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail, a 50-mile route along Long Island's North Shore in New York that traces the historical path of the Culper Spy Ring, a group of American Revolutionary War intelligence operatives who worked for General George Washington. The trail connects key locations including Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay, the Arsenal in Huntington, and the Brewster House in Setauket, and runs from Great Neck to Port Jefferson along village streets, town roads, and New York Route 25A. Congress recognizes the spy ring's critical contributions to the American Revolution, including uncovering Benedict Arnold's plot to surrender West Point and preventing an ambush of the French army. The bill designates the North Shore Promotion Alliance, a nonprofit organization, to administer the trail in cooperation with the Secretary of the Interior, following the route shown on a map dated November 2025. No specific federal funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
