America's National Churchill Museum National Historic Landmark Act

This bill names America’s National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri—including the Winston Churchill Memorial—as a National Historic Landmark. It lets the Secretary of the Interior work with public and private groups to protect the site and offer educational programs, and allows technical and financial help through those agreements. It does not limit what property owners can do with their property, and it does not change who runs the site now (the State of Missouri, the City of Fulton, or Westminster College).

It also orders a study to review the site’s national importance, consider whether it should become part of the National Park System, look at other protection options and costs, consult with local and national partners, and deliver a report within three years after funds are available.

• Who is affected: Westminster College, the City of Fulton, the State of Missouri, local property owners, and public or private groups that may partner on programs.
• What changes: The museum is designated a National Historic Landmark; the Interior Department may support partnerships and provide assistance; owners keep their rights; a federal study of future options is required.
• When: The study’s report is due within three years after funding is first made available.
