Through generous support from the Albany and Eastern Railroad, the City celebrated the 110th anniversary of the last spike driven in Monroe connecting Corvallis and Eugene. Read more about the event and rail history through Monroe.
Mark Murray, City of Monroe Public Works, “drives the last spike” at the 2023 Monroe Festival in front of the Baker House. The original tracks are shown and were uncovered for the event by an Albany and Eastern Rail Crew. Through donations, the City will commemorate the location with a plaque.
