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.
