Garrison Hill Tower is a 76 foot high observatory tower located in Dover, NH. On a clear day, a visitor could spot Mount Washington or the Isles Of Shoals from the top. It’s a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life as the tower and park also provide peace and quiet (I saw only one other person playing with their dog on a Thursday afternoon).
The tranquility makes it easy to think about life’s important questions and perhaps find answers to questions not even thought of or even asked. Or perhaps become inspired by quotes left behind by other Sharpie-wielding philosophers like the ones pictured above. I found quite a few messages of encouragement and positivity which blew me away. Complete strangers encouraging people to live positively and that they are beautiful. This is the hidden gem that if someone wanted to have their faith in humanity restored, this would be a place to do it.
I definitely recommend checking out the tower and the surrounding views. Remember once at the top, “You’re As beautiful as the view!”
