We went to Fort Snelling. There we saw the round tower and wondered what the circumference of it was. If the diamater of the round tower was 38 feet, what is the circumference of the round tower.
The round tower was built around 1820 and was probaly the first building built in Minnesota. There are musket slits in the walls to protect the tower if it came to battle. The tower was 3 stories tall with a 12 ponder mouted.
