The Town of Tamworth owns the Great Hill Tower. It stands on state-owned land of the Hemenway State Forest. The Tower provides fine views north to the Sandwich Range; east to Kearsage North, the hills of Conway, Madison, and Freedom; south to Ossipee Lake & the Ossipee Mountains; and west over Sandwich to the Squam Lake region. It is accessed by several TCC trails.
This brief history of the Tower is from 1976:
