Once upon a time there was a Norwegian named Bert Enger. He was poor and moved to Duluth, USA for a new life. Throughout his life in Duluth he became super rich and successful. Later in life he donated most of his estate to the city of Duluth. So the city built this tower in the 1920's where it was dedicated by Crown Prince Olav of Norway. The tower and the surrounding park has been completely remodeled in recent months as in a few weeks King Harold V of Norway will visit Duluth for a rededication. This is the tower:
The tower viewed from Wisconsin.
And the following pictures are views from the tower as well as the nearby ridge.
I'm glad to see the tower and park are renovated...'cause when I went a few years ago, it was sort of a joke.
