                         Tuesday, March 2, 2010

  Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and 
recognize Wolcott Mill Metropark in Ray Township, Michigan. On December 
8, 2009, Wolcott Mill was listed on the National Historic Places 
Register thanks to the hard work of volunteer Kathie Lucas of Armada 
and Supervising Interpreter Bill Thomas.
  Wolcott Mill Metropark is a 2,380 acre park which includes a 250 acre 
working farm, an 18 hole golf course, 10 miles of equestrian trails, 
and is the home of ``Camp Rotary,'' a camping area for organized youth 
groups. In 1847 the namesake mill was built and continued operating as 
a grain grinder until 1967.
  This machinery is still viewable and offers visitors an opportunity 
to see firsthand the importance of old mills and the antique farming 
equipment used.
  I am proud to have Wolcott Mill Metropark in my congressional 
district and I congratulate the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority on 
this historic occasion.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Wolcott 
Mill Metropark and congratulating them on this recognition.
