This is the historic Chenocetah Fire Tower located in Cornelia, Georgia. Like the fire tower at Fort Mountain, this one was also locked up tight. This is another beautiful example of how some fire towers were both functional and also very pleasing aesthetically. Despite not being able to see the inside, I'm still glad to have visited this location. Some things just need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. A view of Lake Russell below the tower was equally impressive. The grounds of this location are kept impressively clean and neat. Some masonry work needs done, but this is to be expected from a property this old. This is definitely worth spending the time driving to.
