Among the last of the wooden water towers in Michigan, the Grant water tower was built beside the depot in 1891 by the Grand Rapids, Newaygo, and Lakeshore Railroad. It cost $1,910 and could hold 42,648 gallons of water. Although train service ceased in 1966, the Water Tower was used well into the 1980's as a water reserve for the fire department. In 2008 after being moved 128 feet east of its original location the cypress and pine tower was restored.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
