Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the name of the Weir Farm National Historic Site to the Weir Farm National Historical Park. Additionally, it updates the terminology in the Weir Farm National Historic Site Establishment Act of 1990 to reflect this new designation. This matters because it officially alters how the site is referred to in legal texts, which could have implications for its management and recognition.
