in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary must maintain the Homestead land as a lasting memorial to pioneer settlers. The Secretary must build a museum to preserve homesteading literature and farm tools. The land may also serve other purposes tied to homesteading history.

It is the Secretary of the Interior's duty to lay out the Homestead National Historical Park land in a suitable and enduring way, so it can be maintained as a proper memorial — one that captures the hardships and pioneer life the early settlers went through while settling, farming, and building the American West. The Secretary must also erect suitable buildings to be used as a museum, where literature about that settlement and agricultural tools used in developing the western plains will be preserved and displayed. Beyond the museum, the Secretary may use the land for any other purpose that, in the Secretary's own judgment, helps preserve and tell the history of the country that the homestead law helped develop.

It shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to lay out said land in a suitable and enduring manner so that the same may be maintained as an appropriate monument to retain for posterity a proper memorial emblematical of the hardships and the pioneer life through which the early settlers passed in the settlement, cultivation, and civilization of the great West. It shall be his duty to erect suitable buildings to be used as a museum in which shall be preserved literature applying to such settlement and agricultural implements used in bringing the western plains to its present high state of civilization, and to use the said tract of land for such other objects and purposes as in his judgment may perpetuate the history of the country mainly developed by the homestead law.
