The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“TRIBUTE TO THE RABBIT HASH GENERAL STORE” mentioning the Department of Interior was published in the Senate section on pages S11182-S11183 on Dec. 5, 2006.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
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.
