This law creates Pea Ridge National Military Park in Arkansas. The park exists once 1,200+ acres of the Pea Ridge Battlefield are donated to the federal government. The land must come free of cost and free of any liens or claims.

This section sets up Pea Ridge National Military Park, near Bentonville, Arkansas. Once at least 1,200 acres of the non-federal land known as the Pea Ridge Battlefield — including any buildings on it — have been transferred to the United States, free and clear of all liens, mortgages, or other claims, and at no expense to the federal government, that land automatically becomes dedicated as a unit of the National Park System. It is then set aside for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of the United States, under the name Pea Ridge National Military Park.
