Tower Hill State Park is a state park of Wisconsin, United States, which contains the reconstructed Helena Shot Tower. The original shot tower was completed in 1832 and manufactured lead shot until 1860. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1][2] The park abuts the Wisconsin River and is bordered by state-owned land comprising the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway.
