I almost didn't post this because the water tower is such an obvious landmark while traveling Interstate 65. But slow travelers might be interested in getting a closer look. We found the 'peach' looming over an expanse of bare dirt that was almost the same color. It made a striking contrast to the summer blue sky. According to Roadside America, it is 120 feet high, holds 500,000 gallons, and was constructed in 1992. There is a peach-themed restaurant close by, but we did not eat there. Based on signage, I suspect local peaches are also available in season.
