Federal SB4538 proposes a study on designating Washington’s Trail—1753 as a national historic trail.

Federal SB4538, introduced by Senators John Fetterman, David McCormick, Tim Kaine, Mark Warner, James Justice, and Shelley Capito, seeks to amend the National Trails System Act. The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study on designating Washington’s Trail—1753 as a national historic trail. This trail, approximately 500 miles long, follows the route taken by George Washington in 1753 on a diplomatic mission to the French. The study aims to assess the potential of this historical route for national recognition and preservation.
