Before modern day systems, water tanks were essential on the farm for ensuring ample water supply for livestock and the people living on the farm. This miniature Water Tower is an authentic looking replica of the real thing. The stand and the ladder leading up to the holding tank is made of copper colored metal. Imagine the miniature garden farmer climbing up the ladder to check the water level ensuring his farm's livelihood. The tank itself looks like old rusty brick colored tin that has spent the past 100 years deteriorating from time and weather conditions. For an accurate depiction of an early 20th century American farm, add the Water Tower to a back corner of the farm themed miniature garden yard near the house and barn.
