§261 Establishment; Description of Area

Summary

The Cumberland Gap–Cumberland Ford areas are parts of the Warriors Path and Daniel Boone’s Wilderness Road in Bell and Harlan Counties, Kentucky; Lee County, Virginia; and Claiborne County, Tennessee. When the Secretary of the Interior decides certain lands, buildings, and other property in those areas should belong to the United States for a national historical park and ownership is transferred, the United States will set them aside as a public park called Cumberland Gap National Historical Park to benefit and inspire the public, and it will not buy any of those lands with public money.
