Bowman's Hill Tower, Stone observation tower in Washington Crossing Historic Park, Pennsylvania.
The stone tower rises 125 feet above Bowman's Hill, offering a 14-mile view over the Delaware River and surrounding Pennsylvania countryside.
Built between 1929 and 1931, the tower required 2,400 tons of materials, including 1,200 perches of native stone from local quarries and fences.
The tower serves as a memorial structure within Washington Crossing Historic Park, connecting visitors to the American Revolutionary period.
Visitors can access the observation deck using an elevator for most of the journey, followed by a spiral staircase to reach the top level.
The structure incorporates copper cables along its exterior as part of a lightning protection system installed in 1934 after multiple lightning strikes.
