  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate the 
bicentennial of Henry County, Indiana. Henry County is rich in history 
and overflowing with Hoosier hospitality. Henry County was officially 
founded on June 1, 1822. Today it boasts museums to celebrate it's 
past, parks and trails to discover it's nature, and manufacturers, 
factories, and small businesses.
  Henry County is home to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and 
served as the home court to the movie Hoosiers in Knightstown. A museum 
and birthplace of the inspirational Wilbur Wright also find it's home 
here, in Henry County. It is also the birthplace of the famous LOVE 
artist, Robert Indiana.
  The rich history and beauty of Henry County stands proudly on 392 
square miles and includes the Old National Road, the oldest of the 
great Crossroads of America.
  So be it then, Madam Speaker, that all Hoosiers join us in 
celebrating Henry County's grand Bicentennial.
