Happy Birthday Enger Tower!
Today marks the 87th anniversary of the dedication of Enger Tower. To honor the anniversary, the tower will be lit blue and green this evening.
The original dedication of Enger Tower was held on June 15, 1939 by Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha of Norway in honor of Bert Enger, a native of Norway who lived in Duluth and became a successful furniture dealer. At the time of his death, Mr. Enger donated two-thirds of his estate, including the land of Enger Park and Enger golf course to the City of Duluth, along with a $50,000 contribution for Enger Tower to be built in his honor. Duluth is proud to have this beautiful, historic monument in its hillside today.
