                       Tuesday, February 3, 2026

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 75th 
anniversary of Green River Hill Grocery, located in Munfordville, 
Kentucky.
  Since 1951, Green River Hill Grocery has been a cornerstone of the 
local community, serving generations of Hart County families. Operating 
just a few miles from Mammoth Cave National Park and Abraham Lincoln's 
Birthplace National Historical Park, the store has been a welcome stop 
for visitors exploring the rich history of our region. In 2024, Tony 
and Rachelle Wright proudly assumed ownership of this landmark, 
continuing the Green River Hill Grocery's long-standing tradition of 
fostering friendships over delicious home-cooked meals. This milestone 
would not be possible without the overwhelming support of Hart County 
and all those who have supported the store.
  Green River Hill Grocery will continue to serve as more than just a 
store, but as a pillar of the Hart County community. By blending the 
passion for food, agriculture, and community, the team plans on 
continuing to honor the store's rich history and guarantee its place in 
the region for years to come. For 75 years, Green River Hill Grocery 
has played an essential role in Hart County and the communities along 
the Green River. I commend the Wright family for their commitment to 
enriching our community and congratulate all of Hart County on this 
remarkable milestone.
