FAC Water Tower

According to the plaque there was an irrigation ditch that ran through here that powered a grain mill. As the plaque explains, a mob of irate citizens became sick of the smell and garbage accumulaying in the ditch and filled it in one day. After that the mill ran on diesel. Now there is just this cool little park across from the fresno city hall, library, and other local landmarks. It is a great downtown for a walk.

I can't believe I've never gone inside despite living in Fresno for years. It's an amazing gem, definitely worth your time to check it out. The inside is beautiful with a lot of art from local artists on display. They also have free publications with activities to do in the area, so if your looking for something to do this summer this is a great place to look.

It is an iconic piece of history for Fresno. Neat to see it after seeing it in a comedy miniseries in the 80's named well...Fresno. It was being restored.
