    Hiking

    The Head House opened in 1897. It was located opposite Castle Island on a peninsula that juts out into Boston Harbor. In 1896, an iron pier was built from this peninsula to the small offshore Head Island; today this island is known as Sugar Bowl Park on the Head Island Causeway. The 1938 hurricane severely damaged both the Head House and the pier. The building was demolished in 1942, partly for economic reasons; the pier was replaced by a granite causeway in 1953.
