Lusk Water Tower

The Lusk Water Tower was built in 1886 to provide water for steam locomotives on the former Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad, at Lusk, Wyoming.

The tank was originally located in the middle of Lusk near the railroad depot and was moved in 1919 to the present site on the east edge of town, adjacent to what became the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company line now owned by Union Pacific.

[2] The wooden tower is round, with a diameter of about 25 feet (7.6 m).

The structure is believed to be composed of Douglas fir, while the tank itself is redwood.
