nicollet tower & interpretive center

Climb the tower and see for miles. A big hit with kids and adults. Short video is quite interesting and informative. Take friends and family here when they come to visit.

Visit on a clear day to take advantage of the fall color. Easy climb for most people. Clean and well maintained. Ample parking.

You can see up to 3 states on a clear day from the tower. Nice historical murals -- about 10 of them I think. Also includes information on French mapmaker Joseph Nicollet.
