Summary

The Secretary may give money and technical help to owners of privately owned property inside the park that has nationally important historic or cultural resources. The help, given under cooperative or grant agreements, can pay to mark, explain to visitors, and restore those places. The National Park Service must be allowed to enter public parts at reasonable times to bring visitors and interpret them, and no changes can be made except by agreement of both parties. Federal funds must be spent at a ratio of $1 of Federal funds for each $1 of funds from non-Federal sources. The Secretary can accept and use those outside contributions. Land or land interests donated by the State of Michigan can count as non-Federal contributions.
