Creates a new national historic trail on Long Island, New York, following the path of the Washington Spy Ring.

This bill would officially recognize a 50-mile route on Long Island, New York, as the Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail. This designation would give visitors a new way to explore American Revolutionary War history. The North Shore Promotion Alliance would help manage the trail in cooperation with the federal government.

What Would Change

Today, the historic route of the Washington Spy Ring is not an official National Historic Trail. If this bill passes, it would become an official National Historic Trail, about 50 miles long, managed by a local organization in cooperation with the federal government.

Key Provisions

Requires the official map of the trail to be available for public viewing at the Secretary of the Interior's office.
