A 3-story limestone tower located in the city park on east 9th Street. it overlooks the middle river valley which has a impressive view in the fall. You can only get to it by going through the city park and taking a narrow one way winding rock road for about a mile in and another mile out. At the entrance to the park is one of The Bridges of Madison County as seen in the movie by the same name.
