Indian Tower, Observation tower in Nazareth, United States.
The Indian Tower stands 30 feet tall at the highest elevation point of the original 5,000-acre property in eastern Pennsylvania, offering views of the surrounding region.
Built in 1916 to replace a summer house from 1867, the tower received funding from John Jordan Jr who contributed 200 dollars to the Moravian Historical Society.
The structure gained its name from the adjacent Moravian Graveyard, which contains burials of four Native Americans from the Welagamika village between 1744 and 1762.
The tower functions as an emergency services repeater station while remaining open to visitors who want to experience elevated views of Nazareth and its surroundings.
During World War II, the Indian Tower served as a civil defense observation post, monitoring the skies over Pennsylvania for potential threats.
