The town of Cuthbert in southwest Georgia is perhaps best known for its historic water tower, first constructed in 1895. The tower is the only known historical structure to be located in the median of a federal highway (U.S. Highway 82) and even survived a tornado in 1909. While it hasn’t held water in more than 50 years, it remains a landmark for the tiny town. Thanks to the efforts of state Rep. Gerald Greene, whose district includes Cuthbert, and the efforts of some local business owners, the tower is getting a facelift and some much-needed maintenance to ensure it continues to loom large over Randolph County for generations to come.
