What did the NPS Feasibility study find?
On August 2, 2005, President Bush signed bipartisan legislation to authorize the NPS to study the feasibility and desirability of establishing the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. In March 2006, the National Landmarks Committee and the National Park System Advisory Board found that Smith’s voyages are nationally significant. The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail Feasibility Study and Environmental Assessment, which incorporates the statement of national significance, was released for public comment on July 17, 2006.
