Nobscot Hill, Mountain summit in Framingham, United States.
Nobscot Hill rises to 602 feet in elevation, featuring multiple trails that wind through forests, wetlands, and meadows across the 452-acre reservation.
The Nipmuc people named this location Penobscot, meaning Place of the Falling Rock, and maintained a stone cairn at the summit for observation purposes.
Henry David Thoreau documented his visits to Nobscot Hill during the 1850s, while Henry Ford attempted to create an early American village in the area.
The Tower Trail connects with White Ridge Trail, Fire Trail, and Ellis Land Trail, offering various route options for reaching the summit.
The failed dam construction by Henry Ford in the 1930s at the base of the hill created a structure now known as Ford's Folly.
