In 1928, a 60-foot tall Aermotor LS40 tower was built on the northeast summit of Fingerboard Mountain by the Palisades State Park Commission in Harriman State Park. The tower was one of three similar towers erected that same year. The others being on Bear Mountain and Jackie Jones Mountain. With the completion of the towers the Park Commission felt that an adequate system of fire detection had been attained for the park.

In the 1970s, the tower was closed and removed.
