I was going to Hutchinson the other night and remembered this spot and decided to set this one up as a virtual. My brothers and myself used to go check it out when I lived in Hutchinson twenty-five years ago.
This structure was built in 1963, and towers above Kansas 1504 feet. The tower is 32 feet taller than the Empire State Building, and was considered the tallest structure in the state of Kansas. I do not know if it is still the tallest in the state, but it is still pretty impressive.
Info on the Tower History
The coordinates that are listed on the page are for the gate that is just off of Fourth Street. Park at the gate and find the Spartan Communications sign that is on the fence.

I hope that you find the tower as impressive as I did the first time I saw it. Have fun and remember……NO TRESPASSING!!!
