Adding to my collection of water towers that includes the World's Largest Catsup Bottle (Collinsville, IL), the Peachoid (Gaffney, SC) and the World's Largest Dixie Cup (Lexington, KY), I'm checking out this one that yes, looks exactly like an ear of corn. The water tower was built in 1929 to provide water to the adjacent cannery which has since closed but the tower lives on. It is 151 feet tall and that includes the 60 foot tall tank. It holds 50,000 gallons though it has not been used for such since the Seneca Foods plant closed in 2018. The water tower is now owned by Olmsted County and it is quick to visit, free and completely quirky. I love it.

Move over Eiffel Tower, step aside Pyramids | have seen the wonder of the world, and it is a water tower shaped like an ear of corn. The moment it came into view, I swear I heard angels singing and a distant tractor revving in approval. This isn't just a water tower – it's a 150-foot-tall love letter to agriculture. Every golden kernel seemed to whisper, “Hydration... but make it corny." I felt my soul ascend several USDA-certified levels. I didn't just look at this tower. I experienced it. I am now 86% happier, 42% more Midwestern, and possibly photosynthesizing. My bucket list has been checked off in permanent Sharpie.

I was driving through Rochester to check the city out and see if there was anything of interest to see. I Googled the city looking for attractions and this was the best thing to pop up. Not much to see and nowhere to park, but I pulled off to check it out and get a picture. I was looking at Earth view and there was a factory there that was recently torn down. I wonder what it manufactured?

I can genuinely say that going to the corn tower was THE single best moment of my life. I’ve lived in Rochester for 14+ years and have always heard of the corn tower and occasionally passed it on the way to Walmart. But one day I took the time out of my day to stop and admire the Tower of corn, and I felt whole, I felt all negativity leave my body, as the weight was lifted off my shoulders I hysterically sobbed staring at the incredible noble water tower looking over the town. I was more then just a tower to me, it has become a life style, religion, and over all way of being. The corn tower has done nothing but improve my life in many ways. EX: my sister was suffering from being chronically short, the next time I saw her she had spent extra money on Platform teletubby boots, boosting her 4 inches, she towered over me, as the corn tower towers over my life 🌽🗼...
