On May 10, 1869, the “Golden Spike” was driven at Promontory Summit, Utah, joining the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads.

Saturday’s events included a Horse and Buggy Parade, the Family Hoe Down, and a fireworks show.

There are a lot of events planned leading up to the reenactment of the driving of the golden spike on May 10. Here’s a link to all Spike 150 events.
