On our way home from Washington we stopped at Promontory Point. The site is in the middle of no-where and as we were driving we saw a sign that said there was also a fee to visit the site. Matthew groaned and said, "We are driving through the middle of no-where and we have to PAY to see it? What kind of suckers are we?"
As it turns out it was worth it, and we enjoyed seeing this neat part of Utah History.
(From the official site)
May 10, 1869 the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined their rails at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory and forged the destiny of a nation. Golden Spike National Historic Site shares the stories of the people and settings that define the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad.
