Why I love Dover New Hampshire; Reason #10, Garrison Hill tower

Looking for a a great place to take in scenic views of New Hampshire's Seacoast?

Check out the Garrison HIll Tower, located just off Central Ave. in Dover New Hampshire. The tower, standing at 298 feet gives visitors scenic views of New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. On a good, clear day, visitors can get views from Mt. Washington, all the way to Boston.

Looking back in history. The hill has had structures built on it, dating back as far as 1880. It is said that native Americans built a wooden tower there to observe the land. The city of Dover purchased the hill and the land in 1888 when a more modern tower was built. By 1913 a small ski slope had been constructed for the local community to enjoy. By 1970 the tower had been worn with wear and tear, and had to fenced off due to safety issues only to be later restored by local citizens. Most recently in 1994, the tower was rebuilt at the site of the original structure.

One of the greaest things about the tower is that it is free to the public. Anyone form anywhere can come and visit and enjoy the scenery. Just a quick 5 minute drive from my office, the tower is a place that I like to take new visitors to the area. I invite you to take a look someday. Give me a call if you are in town and would like to take a visit to the tower!
