Enger Observation Tower

Bert J. Enger, a native of Norway and citizen of Duluth, rose from common laborer to merchant prince and was remembered as an immigrant whose life demonstrated America as a land of opportunity and whose citizenship enriched its civilization. During his lifetime, through a very generous gift, he enabled the City of Duluth to acquire and develop the land adjacent to the tower as a park and golf course for the enjoyment of future generations, and at his death he bequeathed two-thirds of his estate to the people of Duluth. In his lifetime he spent leisure hours here admiring the panorama of Duluth and its environs visible from the tower. In recognition of his devotion and generosity, the people of Duluth elected him to their Hall of Fame and cherished his memory. The tower was dedicated on June 15, 1939, by Olav, Crown Prince of Norway.
