Old Water Tower At Columbus Honored For Service
The old Columbus water tower, a local health guardian since the 1920s, is being restored as a museum and civic center. Once supplying the town with 56,000 gallons, it was upgraded to 85,000 gallons in 1906 before a modern system replaced it. Local groups debated preservation, funds were raised, and an architect was hired to restore the tower. The site now joins recent historic markers in the community.
