Enger Memorial Tower

Enger Memorial Tower was built in 1939 as a tribute to Bert J. Enger, a Norwegian immigrant whose life reflected the American dream. As a young man he went work in a furniture store and eventually headed his own successful business. His wealth continued with real estate and shipyard investments. Upon his death he bequeathed two thirds of his estate to the city of Duluth. A bronze plaque at the base of the tower pays tribute to this truly self-made man. Built from native Minnesota bluestone, the octagonal observation tower stands 60 feet tall and com- mands a 360 degree breathtaking view of Duluth and its surroundings. At night the beacon on top can be seen from up to 50 miles away. Extensive repairs were made to the tower in 2011 in antic- ipation of a visit from the king and queen of Norway.
