Waterloo Pioneer Memorial Tower 

“ Built in 1926, Waterloo Pioneer Memorial Tower commemorates the arrival of the Pennsylvania-German pioneers to the Waterloo region between 1800 and 1803. The 18.9 metre high tower is located along the banks of the Grand River in Waterloo Regional Municipality, Ontario....  The property also contains a small pioneer cemetery.”

Due to Doors Open being a public event, I didn’t get a great shot of the tower without people in it. However, I did get to go up to the lookout, and take some pictures from there.

Went for a trip to the Guelph O.R.

Looking forward to returning in the Fall.

**Was there around noon, and had horrible lighting for pictures**
