Description

Leaning Tower of Rock — For our #TBT we take a look back at this August 28th, 1901 photo of a gentleman with his hand on a leaning tower of St. Peter Sandstone as a result of post-glacial weathering near Footville, Wisconsin.

Footville is located in Rock County which, according to official Geographic Names records, is named for the "rocky landscape of the county" — see: on.doi.gov/RockCounty.

The one thing we can't help but think, however, is standing next to a very tall tower of heavy rock on that particular side would not be our choice of position.
