Broadway Tower may look like an ancient fortress, but it was never meant for war or royalty. Built in 1798 as an experiment to see if a tower could be spotted from afar, it has had many uses over the years—an artist’s retreat, a lookout post, even a Cold War monitoring station. Today, it’s mostly a scenic landmark, offering wide views of the countryside and surprising hikers who weren’t expecting to find a castle-like tower in the middle of nowhere.
