  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
100th Anniversary of the Dillard House Restaurant and Inn. This 
milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Dillard 
family, who have owned and operated the charming mountain escape since 
the early nineteenth century. The Dillard House has served travelers 
and locals alike by providing a dynamic getaway experience, with farm-
to-table dining, outdoor family recreation, beautiful vineyards, and 
breathtaking views.
  The Dillard family first came to Georgia in 1794 and played an 
integral role in the early development and success of Dillard, Georgia. 
By contributing to an array of businesses and even lending its name to 
the Town, the Dillard family has stood as a pillar of the community 
generation after generation.
  The Dillard House is a unique piece of history that continues to 
expand, accommodating larger groups and providing more activities, 
while remaining loyal to its northeast Georgia roots. The Dillard 
family embodies the true meaning of southern hospitality and has served 
hundreds of thousands of patrons throughout the last century. Over the 
years, the Dillard House has become a landmark establishment in the 
Ninth District and the premiere northeast Georgia dining experience.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to celebrate with the Dillard family and 
to recognize their success before you today.
