Not only does it look great - but the tuck pointing work protects the structural integrity of the tower.  We're hoping that the enhanced lighting and a few well positioned security cameras will discourage the vandalism we've seen in the past.

City crews and the contractor did a great job completing this project through a crummy spring to have it open during the summer months.

More to come at Enger - new gazebo on the ridge, new trails, and we're raising money to expand the bathrooms (and make them accessible).  To help out (volunteer or contribute), go to engertowerduluth.com.

Of course, then we'll bring King Harald of Norway to Duluth in October for the rededication of the Tower, 72 years after his father first dedicated it in 1939.

I thought King Harald of Norway was coming for a ribbon cutting ceremony of the improved Enger Tower. Is this just a 'soft opening'?
