[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 1] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 533] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]A TRIBUTE TO GRAYSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY ______ HON. BRETT GUTHRIE of kentucky in the house of representatives Thursday, January 21, 2010 Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great place in the Commonwealth of Kentucky--Grayson County. On Monday, January 25, 2010, Grayson County will celebrate its 200th birthday. The county was established in 1810 as the 54th county in Kentucky. It was named after Colonel William Grayson, a Virginian statesman and Revolutionary War aide to General George Washington. Col. Grayson once owned over 5,000 acres, which included the western end of Grayson County. As the story goes, Washington purchased the land from Henry Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, by trading his favorite horse. Grayson County includes many great attractions, offering individuals a great place to visit and live. Grayson County's Twin Lakes and the Rough River State Resort Park offers countless recreational opportunities, including swimming, nature trails, boating, tennis, and go-cart racing as well as campsites and lodging. I am proud to represent the citizens of Grayson County and they should be celebrated for their contributions to making Kentucky such a wonderful place. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Grayson County and congratulating them on 200 amazing years. ____________________
