                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS COLLINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 21, 2018

  Mr. COLLINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Town of Rush, New York for their Bicentennial Anniversary, which took 
place on March 13, 2018.
  The Town of Rush is located in Monroe County near Rochester, New 
York, the third largest city in New York. Home to nearly 3,500 people, 
Rush, New York prides itself on its rich history, and suburban 
community feel.
  As an Eagle Scout, I believe it is important to enjoy the outdoors, 
and preserve it for future generations to come. Rush, New York offers 
many opportunities to do just that, whether it be hiking on the Lehigh 
Valley Trail, or viewing native wildlife in Rush Oak Openings.
  Rush is also home to the New York Museum of Transportation and 
Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. Families and train 
enthusiasts from across the country can see everything from the largest 
collection of historic trains in New York State, to antique trolley 
cars.
  I thank the Town of Rush for their commitment to preserving 200 years 
of history, and I congratulate them on their Bicentennial Anniversary.
