Description

This tower was originally constructed in the 1930s in a remote Atkikokan, Ontario where it served as a forest fire lookout and radar tower. It was relocated to Fort Frances in 1972 to be used as a tourist attraction. In 2009, it was moved again to its current location along the Rainy River.
