## Summary

**Directs the Interior Secretary to study Fort Pillow Historic State Park for possible designation as a National Battlefield Park.** The study would assess the site's national significance and the suitability and feasibility of adding the 1,642-acre park in Henning, Tennessee to the National Park System. It frames Fort Pillow as a Civil War memory site tied to an April 12, 1864 attack and reported massacre that left between 300 and 400 men dead and included 262 United States Colored Troops among the garrison. The bill notes the park became a state park in 1971 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark.
