Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lapeer County for its continued preservation of the Lapeer County Historic Courthouse, a treasured landmark that has stood at the heart of the community for more than 180 years.

The Lapeer County Historic Courthouse holds the distinction of being Michigan's oldest continuously operating courthouse still serving its original purpose. Most recently, Lapeer County completed a significant restoration project that carefully preserved and enhanced the courthouse's historic architecture while ensuring it remains functional for generations to come.

This accomplishment reflects the county's steadfast commitment to preserving one of Michigan's most cherished landmarks and safeguarding an important part of its heritage.

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Lapeer County for the successful restoration of the Lapeer County Historic Courthouse and for its continued dedication to preserving this historic landmark for future generations.
