Notes

  • 1910 - 1976. rem. 1982.
  • Established in 1911 by the NH Timberland Owners on Groveton Paper Co. land. There was no tower, since the summit is bare rock. A cabin on the peak was built in 1919 or 1920, and replaced in 1942 and again in the mid 1960s. It was closed in 1980 and burned in 1982.
