Memorial Arch of Tilton
Memorial Arch of Tilton, Triumphal arch in Northfield, US.
The Memorial Arch of Tilton stands 55 feet tall and 40 feet wide, built with Concord granite on a hill rising 150 feet above the Winnipesaukee River.
Charles E. Tilton commissioned the construction of this arch in 1882 after being influenced by the Arch of Titus during his visit to Rome in 1881.
The monument features a 50-ton sarcophagus and a red granite Numidian lion at its base, reflecting the architectural elements of late 19th-century memorial structures.
Visitors can find the arch by following Summer Street near its intersection with Bay and Elm Streets, marked by a white and blue directional sign.
A time capsule sealed within the keystone contains newspapers, a local history book, and period coins from the 1880s, preserving artifacts from its construction era.
