About the Stone Tower
Stone Tower is a 48 ft. tall field stone tower on the top of Burrill Hill. It was constructed in 1936 under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
Built for fire observation, the tower had a wooden roof structure constructed on its top to provide shelter for crews that would man it.
Set on the highest point in Lynn, this rustic field stone tower commands an impressive view of Lynn's waterfront, Boston and beyond.
The Friends of Lynn Woods have been instrumental in securing $250,000 of the $340,000 that we need for the repair of the Stone Tower back to its original condition.
