Description:

Work began on the 4.75-mile tunnel in 1851 but it wasn't finished until 1873 - well after the Civil War. It still remains active and is the longest working tunnel east of the Rockies. At the time it was built, it cost a total of 21 million dollars which would more than 427 million today!
