                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 3, 2008

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, on April 8, 2008, a new 
educational collection will be unveiled and celebrated at the Kentucky 
Gateway Museum Center in Maysville, Kentucky.
  Chicago's Art Institute and England's Queen Mary's Dolls' House are 
among the few places in the world where visitors can enjoy expansive 
collections of miniature buildings and artifacts and Maysville's 
Kentucky Gateway Museum Center now joins these distinguished 
institutions. The 3,300 square foot Miniatures Gallery at the Kentucky 
Gateway Museum Center is now home to an unrivaled collection of 
thousands of \1/12\ scale miniatures thanks to a generous donation from 
Maysville native and resident Kaye Browning. The collection features 
historic buildings, homes and monuments, including the ancestral home 
of Lady Diana Spencer, the Fleece Inn in England and the Cox Building 
in Maysville.
  This collection has been a passion of Ms. Browning's for over thirty 
years. Her donation to the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center represents a 
substantial investment in the community and is certain to bring many 
visitors, both young and old, to Maysville to experience this world-
class collection and gallery. I thank Ms. Browning for her incredible 
gift to the museum and for her tremendous dedication to Maysville and 
the entire region. I want to thank Lou Browning, her husband and 
partner in this endeavor and the staff and supporters of the Kentucky 
Gateway Museum Center who have made it a leader in telling the story of 
our Commonwealth.
