                TRIBUTE TO THE RABBIT HASH GENERAL STORE

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to the Rabbit 
Hash General Store on its 175th anniversary. The Rabbit Hash General 
Store has continuously operated relatively unchanged in the town of 
Rabbit Hash, KY, since 1831.
  For 175 years, the Rabbit Hash General Store has been a meeting place 
for

the local community where citizens of Rabbit Hash have come together. 
The Rabbit Hash General Store has withstood ice jams and floods from 
the Ohio River. The establishment shows the true fortitude of the 
people who live in this great river town.
  The Rabbit Hash General Store has been recognized as a landmark by 
the Commonwealth of Kentucky since the late 1970s. Nationally, the 
Rabbit Hash General Store was recognized by the Department of the 
Interior on the National Register of Historic Places, and the town of 
Rabbit Hash has been recently honored by First Lady Laura Bush as a 
Preserve America Community.
  I ask my fellow colleagues to join me in congratulating the Rabbit 
Hash General Store on its 175th anniversary. The Rabbit Hash General 
Store is a true American treasure.
