A single water tower has watched over Marysville for more than a century. Behind it sits an archive of local newspapers, community names, and a research team ready to help you dig deeper.
Est. 1921Landmark story
Filled for the first time in 1921, the 50,000-gallon Comeford Park tank outlasted a second tower near the waterfront. When the Society helped fund its seismic stabilization in 2002, this landmark’s place in the skyline was secured for the next generation.
