  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lapeer County 
for its continued preservation of the Lapeer County Historic 
Courthouse, a treasured landmark that has stood at the heart of the 
community for more than 180 years.
  The Lapeer County Historic Courthouse holds the distinction of being 
Michigan's oldest continuously operating courthouse still serving its 
original purpose. Most recently, Lapeer County completed a significant 
restoration project that carefully preserved and enhanced the 
courthouse's historic architecture while ensuring it remains functional 
for generations to come.
  This accomplishment reflects the county's steadfast commitment to 
preserving one of Michigan's most cherished landmarks and safeguarding 
an important part of its heritage.

County for the successful restoration of the Lapeer County Historic 
Courthouse and for its continued dedication to preserving this historic 
landmark for future generations.
