OBSERVATION TOWER

The three story Observation Tower in the lower field is a perfect place to view stunning sunsets.  The tower is connected to the large pond by means of a long pier.  After climbing the stairs to the second story, the third story of the tower can be accessed by means of an iron spiral staircase.  The top floor of the Observation Tower allows 360 degree views of the Baker’s 10 Acre Railway Gardens.  

After passing the 1.5 acre pond, the Argo Gold Mine Train descends a long, curving trestle and  then passes under the second floor of the Observation Tower.

The photographs above and below show the seasons in the area of the Observation Tower.
