Look at the top of the tower to see why: it&#8217;s got lights hanging from the top edge of the capitol tower! It actually wasn&#8217;t until I discovered an older postcard of the capitol that I discovered this interesting tidbit. I thought the tower had always been lit from below. I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/postcard_01.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"319\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>Here&#8217;s a postcard I bought last year, the one through which I made my illuminative discovery. I&#8217;m so glad they light the tower from below now; those lights on the top look really cluttered!
