Title 16 › CHAPTER 1 — NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › SUBCHAPTER LIX–HHH — PULLMAN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK › § 410jjjj
The Pullman National Monument is redesignated as the Pullman National Historical Park. The monument was created by Proclamation Number 9233 on February 19, 2015; that proclamation is now void. "Historical park" means the Pullman National Historical Park. "Map" means the map called "Pullman National Historical Park Boundary," number 590/125,485, dated November 2021. Any money or legal references that applied to the monument now apply to the historical park. The park must protect and explain Pullman’s important history, including U.S. labor history and the start of Labor Day; the first planned industrial town in the country; its architecture and landscape; the role of Pullman porters in the rise of the African‑American middle class; and other history named in Proclamation 9233. The Secretary will manage the park under this law and the usual National Park System rules. The Secretary may make cooperative agreements with Illinois, local groups, and others to help preserve and interpret non‑Federal sites inside or near the park, and those agreements must allow reasonable public access. Federal money may be used for signs, restoration, help, and interpretation. If a funded property is later used in ways that conflict with the park’s purposes, the United States can be repaid the larger of the amount given or the increase in value caused by the funds. The Secretary may acquire land from willing sellers, and must finish a management plan within 3 fiscal years after money is first available.
