This bill adds the General George C. Marshall House in Virginia to the National Park System as an affiliated area. Its main purpose is to help the public learn about and appreciate the important role George C. Marshall played as a U.S. military leader and statesman.

  • The affiliated area covers the property shown on an official map of the General George C. Marshall House in Leesburg, Virginia.
  • The George C. Marshall International Center will be the group responsible for managing the site.
  • The Secretary of the Interior may help with technical support and can enter agreements to assist with marketing, signs, visitor information, and preservation.
  • The federal government will not take over the property or pay for all of its operation, upkeep, or management.
