I Bet Ya Didn't Know
#499The Garfield Hut in Long Branch, N.J., is built with the ties used on a special railroad spur constructed by 2,000 residents of the community so that the fatally-wounded President Garfield could travel over it from the regular rail line to the Presidential Cottage. The spur, 5/8ths of a mile in length, was built between 6 P.M. on Sept. 4, 1881 and 1 P.M. the following day.
