  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Town of 
Gouldsboro, Maine as it celebrates its 225th anniversary.
  Located on the Schoodic Peninsula in Hancock County, the Town of 
Gouldsboro includes the four villages of Corea, Prospect Harbor, West 
Gouldsboro, and Birch Harbor. Named for one of its original 
proprietors, Robert Gould, the town was first incorporated into the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1789, predating Maine's statehood. 
Known for its scenic harbors, long coastline, fishing community, and 
views of Acadia National Park, the Town of Gouldsboro truly embodies 
the spirit of coastal Maine.
  Gouldsboro is also home to four sites listed on the National Register 
of Historic Places: Prospect Harbor Light Station; Soderholtz, Eric E., 
Cottage; West Gouldsboro Union Church; and West Gouldsboro Village 
Library.
  The Town of Gouldsboro reflects the values of the hardworking people 
of Maine who take great pride in the rich history they have created 
over the past 225 years. It is an honor and a privilege to represent 
the people of Gouldsboro in Congress, and I am pleased to have the 
opportunity to help them commemorate the town's 225th anniversary.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the people of 
Gouldsboro and wishing them well on this joyous occasion.
