Ogilvie Minnesota's main claim to fame it its unusual water tower.
The tower, constructed in 1918, was one of the first reinforced concrete towers to be built in Minnesota. It is designed after the turrented castles of northern Europe. Seven window sets are located along the bottom portion of the tower, adding to its picturesque appearance.
The Ogilvie Tower was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is located near the center of Ogilvie and is hard to miss in such a small town.
Ogilvie is a small town with a little less than 500 population in in Kanabec County, Minnesota, about 82 miles north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul. The area is known for its sparkling lakes, clean rivers, wildlife and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
