This 234-foot-tall tower built in 1828 is quite an interesting place to visit. You can't go up but they will let you look at the inside. The place around the Shot Tower is....baltimoresque, homeless people everywhere, billboards from corrupt pharmaceutical companies asking crack users to volunteer for compensated medical trials...Parking is cheap though and pretty safe, right next to some large USPS facility. From there it is about a mile to the harbor or to the Katyn Memorial or to Fells Point.

I appreciate the gentleman who was there to explain the history of the tower. I wasn't sure where to park, Google maps took me to the wrong side but I ended driving right up to it and just parking off to the side... this felt "wrong" though.... worth going when it's open to check out the history inside. Wish you could climb up it but apparently they are doing some restoration... would have some amazing views.

Great monument from the early years of the states. Impressed me how big it is and how 'easy' the technology and the production was.
