Proposal Would Make Civil War Origin Site a National Park

That would be great. It should have been done years ago. Wish it had been done for Sabine Pass.
Just visited "The Gibraltar of the Confederacy" yesterday. Only thing there are some information tablets and a few monuments. The fort structures are gone and only a few ammo bunkers from WWII are there. No one to explain or interpret the site. A good portion of the site has been taken over by refineries. Nothing on the failed attempt of Union Troops to go up river to Taylor's Bayou to burn the rail road bridge. It is so sad to see the desecration of sacred sites. The town of Sabine is all but no more
 
This has been discussed recently and it seems this was merely the combination of two already-existing National Monuments into a single National Park.
