                     Wednesday, September 28, 2016

  Mr. ROKITA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and salute Warren 
County, Indiana as the Indiana Bicentennial Torch is scheduled to pass 
through the county on Wednesday, October 12, 2016.
  The county sits on the western part of Indiana's Fourth Congressional 
District. It was established in 1827 and named for Dr. Joseph Warren, 
who was killed in 1775 at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The county seat is 
located in Williamsport, home to Williamsport Falls, the highest free-
falling waterfall in the state. The county's farmland is recognized as 
being among the most productive in Indiana.
  In this year of the Hoosier Bicentennial, communities throughout the 
state are celebrating Indiana past and present through Bicentennial 
Legacy Projects. These projects are culturally inclusive, celebratory, 
engaging, and inspiring to youth and young adults and create a legacy 
for the future. The organizations responsible for the eleven Legacy 
Projects throughout the county are: Seeger High School Music 
Department, Warren County Historical Society, Warren County Master 
Gardeners, Illiana Antique Power Association, NICHES Land Trust, Wabash 
River Strings, and the Williamsport-Washington Township Public Library. 
Hoosiers look forward to their enduring contribution to our state's 
legacy.
  And on this day, Mr. Speaker, in the year in which we are celebrating 
Indiana's 200th birthday, I am proud to recognize Warren County for the 
contribution of its residents to the past, present, and future of 
Indiana's history.
