Description
“Great Blue Hill has a[n] observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of the New Deal in the 1930’s (The Eliot Tower). The views of the city and Greater Boston Area on a clear day are amazing and make this a very popular spot for families.” (https://takeadaytrip.com)
