SUBCHAPTER LXI--NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MONUMENTS AND MEMORIALS
Sec. 450w. Administration; establishment of museum
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.
