Single achievement

Laurentian Divide 10 8Y5 to 12D

This is a virtual airline achievement created by Fliggity Air.

Incorporated in 1889, the oldest city in the Arrowhead region owes its establishment to the Soudan Mine. Tower, the city's name, was named after mining financier Charlemagne Tower. It's the Home of the Tower Train Museum which is near the McKinley Monument, the first erected in honour of former US President William McKinley shortly after his assassination in 1901.

Tower set the Minnesota record for coldest temperature on February 2, 1996, when the temperature dropped to -60 °F (-51 °C). This was the lowest temperature ever recorded in the United States east of the Great Plains. Tower and the Embarrass Valley to the south are the coldest inhabited locations in the Lower 48 states, based on average winter temperatures.
