Courthouse which will recognize the 125th Anniversary of

the Courthouse on October 28th, 2008. A special ceremony will take 
place to honor the history and tradition of the County Courthouse that 
has existed since 1863.
  The Atchison County Courthouse is located in the county seat Rock 
Port, Missouri. Atchison County is named after former United States 
Senator, David Rice Atchison. The Courthouse is home to various county 
government offices and is the location Atchison County residents 
venture to conduct county business.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing the 
Atchison County Courthouse, an architectural blessing to the citizens 
of Atchison County. It is truly an honor to serve my home county, 
Atchison County Missouri in the United States Congress.
