Hiking
The beautiful stone tower was built in 1937 and restored in 2008 in honor of Elizur Wright, the initiator of Middlesex Fells Reservation. Enjoy a great view of the Boston skyline! You can reach the tower by hiking a half mile from the parking lot at the intersection of South Border Road and Governor's Avenue in Medford. It is also part of the Skyline Trail.
