Description

Off to the northwest corner of the state, Mount Greylock is the Massachusetts high point, rising 3,489 feet. Along with a web of hiking trails, including the Appalachian Trail, a seasonal road allows visitors to explore the Mount Greylock area. Opened to the public in 1933, one of the summit highlights is the Veterans War Memorial Tower.
Built as a permanent war memorial to World War I veterans, the 93-foot tower was originally designed to shine to perpetually for the men and women lost in war. Now, the light is occasionally extinguished for star parties and during bird migratory seasons.
Built of granite blocks by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the stone tower endured harsh weather extremes and many frost and thaw cycles. During its last 80 years the memorial has undergone several improvement projects and total restoration periods. Well known for the marvelous 360-degree views from its observation portals.
Another round of renovations were completed in 2017. After two years and $2.8 million dollars in repairs, the Veterans War Memorial Tower atop Mount Greylock is open to the public. (Scenicusa.net)
