| The lookout building on Pilot Knob was built in 1939 to replace an earlier structure built in 1922. The building is in good shape and is currently staffed each summer. The building is a 14 ft. square L4 cab on a 10 ft. wooden tower. At our visit we met Gary Weber who has been working at this lookout for 38 years! The lookout is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register #793. Photo taken August 24, 2022. | |||||||||
