This
beautiful stone building
was built in 1969, just in time for the 100th
anniversary of the completion of the world's first
transcontinental railroad. Now, more than 50,000
people visit each year. Though there is no longer a
train station or ticket office in Promontory, the
visitor center serves as a gateway to the history
of one of the most significant events in the
American west. Nearly all visitors at Golden Spike
come here to see exhibits, view films, watch ranger
presentations, and shop in the bookstore.
