Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Kennesaw Mountain Na-
tional Battlefield Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2014’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield 
Park was authorized as a unit of the National Park 
System on June 26, 1935. Prior to 1935, parts of the 
park had been acquired and protected by Civil War 
veterans and the War Department. 
(2) Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield 
Park protects Kennesaw Mountain and Kolb’s Farm, 
which are battle sites along the route of General Sher-
man’s 1864 campaign to take Atlanta. 
(3) Most of the park protects Confederate posi-
tions and strategy. The Wallis House is one of the few 
original structures remaining from the Battle of Ken-
nesaw Mountain associated with Union positions and 
strategy. 
(4) The Wallis House is strategically located next 
to a Union signal station at Harriston Hill.
