Confluence Tower, Observation tower at Mississippi and Missouri Rivers confluence in Hartford, Illinois.
The Confluence Tower rises 180 feet above ground with three viewing platforms located at 50, 100, and 150 feet above the ground level.
Completed in 2010, the tower marks the starting point of Lewis and Clark expedition, where Camp Dubois was established at Wood River in December 1803.
The base garden displays plants collected during the Lewis and Clark expedition, while indoor exhibits present the regional history and river ecosystems.
The tower operates from May through October, with entrance fees of 10 dollars for adults and 5 dollars for students, including elevator access.
From the upper deck, visitors observe the meeting point of North America's two longest rivers and can spot the St Louis Gateway Arch.
