Why did Wyoming make a tree in a rock an attraction?

The Tree Rock isn't an official Wyoming attraction. The tree which appears to be growing out of solid rock was discovered in 1867 by workers building the railroad. The trains were known to stop at the Tree Rock so that the locomotive firemen could give the tree a drink from their water buckets. Later on, the Lincoln Highway went right by the Tree Rock and many travelers stopped to take photographs and now Interstate 80 goes right past the tree making it an "attraction" to travelers!
