Background

[edit]

Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), it is an 80 feet (24 m) Aermotor steel tower with a 7 by 7 feet (2.1 m × 2.1 m) metal cab and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][4] Visitors can read about the lookout process and can still climb the tower to view the area and see the Osborne Fire Finder.
