The Golden Gate Bridge, a feat of engineering, opened to pedestrians on this day in history, May 27, 1937. An estimated 200,000 people paid $0.25 each to cross the bridge.
"After nearly a century of dreaming, decades of talk and five years of heroic labor, the bridge stands here, the noblest structure of steel upon this planet," he said. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"The Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta," a week-long series of events to celebrate the bridge, began at 6 a.m. on May 27, said the souvenir program.
