The Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement
will be on public review from April 15, 1996 to June 14, 1996. The
document will be on a sixty-day comment period. Copies of the plan will

individually, addresses planning issues, and it includes resource
preservation and provisions for visitor services. Once approved, the
final plan will guide the management of the sites for fifteen to twenty
years. A separate General Management Plan/Environmental Impact
Statement was previously completed for the remaining unit, Hamilton
Grange, in January 1995.
The National Park Service will conduct public meeting(s) during the
sixty-day period and will advertise the meeting(s) in local media
