High Rock Tower Reservation, National historic district on High Rock hill in Lynn, United States.

The granite tower rises 85 feet from a porphyry outcrop, offering views of Boston, Nahant, Salem, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Built in 1905 to replace an earlier wooden structure, the tower marks the site where Native American chief Nanapashemet established his headquarters.

The Hutchinson Family, notable abolitionists and musicians, constructed Gothic Revival cottages and used the location for Civil War rallies and concerts.

Visitors can access the observatory during scheduled evening hours to use telescopes and observe astronomical phenomena from the summit.

The structure features LED lighting and laser projectors on all four sides, creating nighttime displays visible across the city of Lynn.

Location: Lynn
