Leaning Tower of Britten
In the early 1980s, Ralph Britten purchased a water tower from the town of Lefors and moved it to outside his truck stop in Groom. What sets it apart from every other water tower is the fact that it’s structurally designed to lean 5 degrees from vertical center. The tower is in no danger of falling over, but tourists fall over themselves to get a photo with this Route 66 roadside attraction.
Selfie Instructions
Snap a selfie in front of the leaning tower. Make sure you’re standing upright so we can see the water tower lean.
