16 U.S.C. § 430v — Monuments and memorials; regulations; historical markers

This section covers monuments, park rules, and historical markers once the battlefield park is created. (a) The Secretary of the Interior must allow monuments and memorials to be built in the park by groups and individuals connected to the Union or Confederate Armies. But the Secretary must first approve, in writing, where each monument goes and what it looks like. (b) The Secretary must make whatever rules are needed, from time to time, to take care of and protect the park. Anyone who breaks these rules commits an offense. The penalty is a fine of up to $500, or up to six months in prison, or both. (c) The Secretary must arrange for marking the route the Union and Confederate Armies marched from Chattanooga, Tennessee, through Georgia. This includes marking the main battle lines, breastworks, fortifications, and other historical features along that route. The Secretary must also keep these markers maintained, as much as is reasonable and practical.
