Bill Summary

The proposal would create a new national historic trail that follows the route of the Washington Spy Ring, a network of spies who gathered intelligence for George Washington during the American Revolution. This designation would allow the National Park Service to develop and maintain the trail, making it easier for visitors to learn about this important part of American history and visit sites connected to the spy network. The trail would likely include educational markers and resources at historically significant locations where the spies operated.
