Press Release of the Week: Rep. Loudermilk Reintroduces Bill to Preserve Historical Property at Kennesaw Mountain |
|
| |
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after he reintroduced a bill to preserve historic property at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, H.R. 187:
“I first introduced this legislation in 2015, and I’m introducing it for the third consecutive Congress. Kennesaw Mountain is one of the wonderful historic attractions in our district, and the addition of the Wallis House and Harriston Hill will bring even more valuable historic property to the park. Our nation has long recognized the importance of preserving historic sites, especially those battlefields where Americans fought and died for our freedoms. I urge my House and Senate colleagues to bring this bipartisan legislation to the floor for a vote, so everyone can visit and learn about these key historic sites for years to come.”
