Help Preserve Grasselli Tower!
The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum in North Judson, Indiana has been given an opportunity by the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Company to acquire a very unique piece of railroad history - Grasselli Tower in East Chicago. The IHB decommissioned the tower during the later part of 2007 and promptly offered the tower to the HVRM. Grasselli is one of the last remaining railroad towers in Northern Indiana.
The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is working quickly to preserve this piece of American history... but we need your help! The cost to preserve this amazing example of early railroad technology is approximately $50,000. It may seem like a lot of money, but if 2,500 people make a donation of just $20, it would be enough to cover the move to North Judson and help with the tower restoration.
