  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 125th 
Anniversary of the 1898 Smoky Valley Roller Mills in Lindsborg, Kansas. 
The Smoky Valley Roller Mills served as a vital agricultural and 
commercial hub to Lindsborg and the surrounding region from 1898 
through 1955. The historic building and original equipment were 
restored and preserved in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s thanks to the 
efforts of numerous volunteers in the Smoky Valley community. Now, 
Smoky Valley Roller Mills is preserved in working condition today as an 
historical treasure, community cultural center, and a beautiful marvel 
of engineering and ingenuity. I thank the museum board of directors, 
staff, volunteers, and many members of the Smoky Valley community who 
are now working diligently to secure the future of the Smoky Valley 
Roller Mills for future generations to enjoy.
