@Marcyaz I tried googling, the responses were all about getting new ones, not old history, not sure how/where to look

Looks like you've covered a lot of interesting tidbits, some I knew some I did not.
The first US railroad track opened in 1830, it was 13 miles long ..... I'll bet ridin a horse for 13 miles was a feat, now adays it seems like a short distance.

These are things that happened on this day in history I assume. I used to use this day in history as history lessons when we homeschooled.

First episode of Doctor Who aired on BBC TV in 1963.
I picked this because it wasn't until 40 years later that I realized I should have been watching the show!!! How was I supposed to know the Doctor was going to keep regenerating? I was only 8 years old!

I had no idea Doctor Who aired in 1963. I have never watched it although my one son loves the program.
