Description

Built in 1966, Sharon Lookout is a 10’x10’ cab on top of a 75’ steel tower on Moose Hill. It replaced an earlier tower erected in 1917, which in turn was a replacement for a 1912 tower on Bluff Head one-half mile south. It will be listed on the National Lookout Register until it is 50 years old.
