A joint resolution redesignating the Robert E. Lee Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery as the "Arlington House National Historic Site".

Plain-English Summary

This bill would officially change the name of a historic landmark currently known as the Robert E. Lee Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, to the Arlington House National Historic Site. Arlington House is a large historic mansion that sits on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery and was once the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee before the Civil War. The site is currently managed by the National Park Service.

The change would only affect the official name used by the federal government — it would not alter the physical site, its management, or its historical significance. The mansion, its grounds, and any educational or historical programming associated with it would remain intact. Visitors would still be able to tour the property as they do today.

This bill would primarily affect how the federal government refers to the site in official documents, signage, and public communications. It may also have practical implications for the National Park Service, which would need to update materials, websites, and signs to reflect the new name. The bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which oversees national parks and historic sites, for further consideration before it can move forward in the legislative process.
