                       Tuesday, September 2, 2025

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
City of Midway, Georgia and to honor its centennial celebration which 
occured on August 28th.
  Midway is located in Liberty County, a name given to the town in 
remembrance of its citizens, Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett, who 
bravely signed their names to the Declaration of Independence, in 
direct defiance of British rule.
  Adding to the town's historical significance, another Midway resident 
by the name of Nathan Brownson served in the Continental Congress from 
1776 to 1778, helping guide our young nation through the turbulent 
revolutionary years.
  Established in 1752, the Midway Congregational Church was destroyed 
during the Revolutionary War, highlighting the immense sacrifice made 
by the citizens of Midway in advancing the cause of liberty.
  The town is now home to Georgia's only colonial museum and serves as 
one of the First District's most important cultural landmarks.
  I am honored to celebrate the one-hundred-year anniversary of the 
town's incorporation.
