MASSACHUSETTS LOOKOUTS
MONKS HILL
(KINGSTON)
Plymouth County
1916: "A new 30-foot tower with stairs was erected on Monk's Hill in the town of Kingston. This covers the area formerly covered by the tower in Plymouth, and an additional amount of territory to the south and west. This station will be in operation during the entire fire season, while the Plymouth observation tower will be retained for use as a substation during severe droughts. The town of Kingston contributed very liberally towards the construction of the telephone lines to this tower." (Annual Report of the State Forester)
