                       Monday, September 18, 2000

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, this week in my home town, the 
Heritage Hill Foundation will celebrate its 25th anniversary. I'm proud 
today to offer a few remarks honoring this exciting occasion before the 
House.
  It's hard to believe that the Heritage Hill Foundation is 25 years 
old. Back in 1975, a few folks got together and decided that they were 
going to dedicate themselves to creating a museum of living history 
right in Brown County. They banded together and founded the Heritage 
Hill Foundation.
  Over the years, this foundation has been a model organization--
serving as the example for other state and local groups to follow as 
they sought to improve their communities.
  I'm proud to have served on the board of this foundation. But I'm 
even more proud of what it has achieved. It has turned that dream of a 
living history museum into the reality that today stands as Heritage 
Hill State Park.
  The foundation has a long list of achievements to its credit. It has 
raised millions for the creation and operation of Heritage Hill State 
Park. It has restored century-old buildings to their original glory, 
and built new reproduction structures that make the past come alive for 
the generations of today and tomorrow.
  The successes of Heritage Hill are a direct result of the commitment 
and hard work by all those involved with Heritage Hill Foundation, and 
the support and help offered by our community. They're also the result 
of the enthusiasm of those folks, young and old, who visit Heritage 
Hill and remind all of us involved in the project that our investment 
has truly paid off.
  Thank you, Heritage Hill Foundation.
