H.R. 6799 would direct the U.S. Department of the Interior to
conduct a special resource study of the John P. Parker House in
Ripley, Ohio, which was recognized as a National Historic Land-
mark in 1997. The legislation would require the National Park
Service (NPS) to conduct a special resource study to help determine
the feasibility of the Parker house being added to the National
Park System.
A reconnaissance survey completed in 2020 examined the na-

ment required. It determined that further evaluation through a
congressionally authorized special resource study is warranted. The
special resource study will further evaluate the site for inclusion in
