The first store building burned in 2003 and a new store was built just to the right of the first.〔(http://www.scenicbeauty-va.com/photo.htm )〕 Originally, visitors crossed to the tower by way of a swinging bridge that connected to back of the old general store. The swinging bridge was not destroyed in the fire and still stands. Visitors can cross to the edge where the original staircase connected to the bridge. Big Walker Lookout hosts traditional arts demonstrations on weekends. The lookout tower is open to the public, and the cost to climb the tower is $6 for adults and $4 for children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Big Walker Lookout」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
