After 3 decades spent in the sunny (and humid) South Florida media world, Jeff has traveled to across the country to partake in the delights of The Beehive State.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A shiny new piece of art has been loaded up and is making its way to Utah to commemorate the state's role in one of the biggest moments in U.S. history.
The 43-foot Golden Spike Monument left Kentucky on Thursday morning, beginning a weeks-long journey honoring those who built the transcontinental railroad. The exhibition will end Oct. 23-24 at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. Over the last 28 months, artist Douwe Blumberg and his team have created the monument in his Kentucky studio to honor the thousands of workers who built the railroad. Blumberg says his intention was to “give faces to the faceless.”After spending a few months in Brigham City, the Golden Spike Monument will hit the road again and travel to California before it is permanently installed at Golden Spike National Historical Park in Corinne, about 90 minutes north of Salt Lake City.
