Golden Spike National Historical Park

One of the most recent sites designated under the National Park Service system lies in northern Utah, near Corinne and Promontory. This is to commemorate the spot where the first transcontinental train railroad across the United States was completed. A golden spike was used to finish the job on May 10, 1869, as it was a major event with several people in attendance. The site has changed over the years, and the railroad as well as the train cars have been restored to what it believed to have been like in 1869. The place was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966 (#66000080). It was a National Historic Site for many years until it was upgraded to a National Historical Park in 2019. There is a Visitors Center, gift shop, small museum and theater in the building. A $20 fee (card-only) is required to get in. For information, visit the park's website: https://www.nps.gov/gosp/index.htm
