Some Utah History....

This month Callie is learning about Utah history at school. She has been talking a lot about the transcontinental railroad and the “Golden Spike”. This weekend Jeff decided it would be fun to take her to see it. She thought it was pretty cool. Her are some of her favorite pictures.

This historic site witnessed one of the most important accomplishments of the 19th century. On May 10, 1869, officials of the Central Pacific Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad met here to drive four symbolic spikes (two gold), celebrating the completion of the first transcontinental railroad.
