Cairo Skywatch Tower, also known as Delta Lima 3 Green Ground Observation Tower, is a historic watchtower located in Tippecanoe Township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. It was built in 1952, and is a 40-foot tall wooden structure. It once had a glass-enclosed office. It was the first officially commissioned rural skywatch tower by the United States Air Force's Civilian Ground Observation Corps under the Operation Skywatch program. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
This is super cool. The unexpected statue for the United States Air Force Observers was the highlight. This is off a little side road dead end from the main road and east to miss.
