Our March featured park is Golden Spike National Historical Park! Tracks from the east and west were linked on this site in 1869, completing the construction of the US transcontinental railroad–one of the greatest technological achievements of the 19th century. Visitors can learn about the challenges of building the railroad, the lives of the people who built it, and view two replica 19th century locomotives. Learn more here:
