Tour guide was very informative and nice. Was great to finally get inside and see how magnificent it is. Truly a work of art, can't wait till we can go to the top again.

Questions & Answers

Why did they have to build a tall tower to produce the lead balls?

Bruce Gardner | Sep 15, 2020
Lukas Dornauer | Sep 15, 2020

They dropped them from the top and thanks to Gravity the lead formed into drops. Therefore, the tower needed to have a minimum height.

Who was the engineer?

Darrin Barker | Sep 16, 2019
Brian Hoffman | Sep 16, 2019

I am not sure about that but they've got information all around there that you can read about that I'm sure we'll answer your question it is very interesting have they did engineered it and how it worked. There's plenty of parking nearby. And you certainly can't miss it if you get close.
