This law lets the Secretary of the Interior accept donated private land on Saint Croix Island in Maine. The land becomes a national monument honoring the site's history. The Secretary can also get up to fifty acres on the mainland for offices and a landing dock.

This section authorizes creating a Federal area of national historical importance. The Secretary of the Interior may accept, on behalf of the United States, donations of all non-Federal land and interests in land on Saint Croix (Dochet) Island, in the Saint Croix River in the State of Maine. The Secretary accepts these donations for national monument purposes. The Secretary may also acquire mainland land, using whatever method the Secretary considers to be in the public interest, but not more than fifty acres. This mainland land is for general administrative purposes and for a landing dock, so people have a suitable way to reach the island.
