| Description |
Each year a celebration takes place at the monument at Promontory summit commemorating the joining of the transcontinental railroad, where the last spike was driven on May 10, 1869. There is a program consisting of the presentation of the colors, singing of the national anthem, music by a high school band, selections by some chorus, and Indian dances. The scene of the ceremony that took place on May 10, 1869 is re-enacted by local citizens of Brigham City, or other nearby towns, in regalia. Mrs. Bernice Gibbs Andersen of Corinne has been responsible for these celebrations down through the years. Gift of: U.P. Railroad. |
