Bat Tower

Bat Tower

Just a tower out in the middle of nowhere. But the story behind it is pretty neat. Built in 1929 to house bats brought into the area for the purpose of eating the mosquitos, the structure stands alone on the backside of the island. The bats are long gone, so no worries there. And the mosquitos are alive and well. Several stories conflict, but the basis of it is that the bats died and the idea behind the project was a flop. The kids liked to run free and see something neat, but didn't really understand what it was all about.
