America’s First Moving Historical Landmark

By Linda Tancs

Did you know that San Francisco’s iconic cable car is America’s first moving historical landmark?  An official ceremony at Hyde and Beach on 1 October 1964 designated San Francisco’s cable car system a special “moving” National Historic Landmark.  This and other fun facts about the city’s beloved transport system are found at the San Francisco Cable Car Museum located on Mason Street in the Nob Hill neighborhood.
