Lookout History

In 1910, there was a wood tower lookout station at this site.

In 1919, we know the tower on Pleasant Pond Mountain was newly painted.

In 1917, a 24-foot steel tower erected.

In 1920, the inventory shows a 36-foot steel tower.

In 1951, the tower was removed and re-erected on Barren Mountain.
