[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 10] [Senate] [Page 14288] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]VIENNA, SOUTH DAKOTA Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President, today I recognize the town of Vienna, SD, on reaching its 125th anniversary. Throughout its history, this small, rural community in Clark County has faced many hardships yet it still remains a strong town, and I congratulate the people of Vienna for all that they have accomplished. Vienna was founded in 1887 along the Milwaukee railroad. Named by the Austrian founders after Vienna, Austria, this small town quickly grew as a result of daily freight and passenger trains. Unfortunately, a fire in 1913 destroyed six buildings on Main Street, slowing down the progress of the town. However, Vienna persevered and rebuilt two brick buildings which housed a meat market and a drug store. In 1937, a new elevator was built by the Vienna Grain Company, which greatly enhanced the community. Residents of Vienna will kick off their July 30-August 1 celebration with a lawnmower only poker run followed by the Fireman Olympics, threshing bee, all-school reunion, dance, and conclude with a Sunday morning service at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. I am proud to honor Vienna, a town that contributes so much to the identity of rural South Dakota, for its historic milestone. ____________________
