English: Built in 1926, Waterloo Pioneer Memorial Tower commemorates the arrival of the Pennsylvania-German pioneers to the Waterloo region between 1800 and 1803. The 18.9 metre high tower is located along the banks of the Grand River in Waterloo Regional Municipality, Ontario. The tower's random-coursed fieldstone, tapered "Swiss" copper roof, and the Conestoga wagon weather vane reflect the German speaking European origin and farming lifestyle of these early settlers. It has a simple well-proportioned profile, a tapered cylindrical shaft of random coursed fieldstone supporting a moulded concrete cornice under a hexagonal gallery platform.
Français : Construite en 1926, la tour de Pionnier-de-Waterloo commémore l'arrivée des premiers colons allemands originaires de Pennsylvanie dans le comté de Waterloo entre 1800 à 1803. La tour, 18.9 mètres de haut, est située sur la rive de la rivière de Grand dans la municipalité régionale de Waterloo en Ontario. Les pierres posées en assise irrégulière, le toit conique en cuivre de style « Suisse » et la girouette ornée d'un chariot de type « Connestoga » rappellent les origines germaniques/helvétiques et le mode de vie agricole de ses colons. La tour dont le profile est bien proportionné, consiste en un fût conique cylindrique fuselé en pierres des champs posées en appareils irréguliers qui soutient une corniche en béton moulé sous une plate-forme hexagonale.
