Caroline A Fox Research and Demonstration Forest:
The Caroline A. Fox Research and Demonstration Forest (Fox
Forest) has been the State of New Hampshire’s forest research
station since 1933. The forest is a gift to New Hampshire from Miss
Caroline Fox of Arlington, Massachusetts. Miss Fox spent her
summers here and had an interest in forest management issues.
Before her death, Miss Fox also donated to the State a trust fund
to finance forestry research projects. Presently the forest
contains 1,445 acres, the Henry I. Baldwin Forestry Education
Center and a farm house/office.. Brochures and trail maps for the
22 miles of trail system and entire property are available at the
Fox Forest Headquarters.
Monroe Hill Tower:
Monroe Hill Tower originally known as Memorial tower was built
in 1934 to be intended for fire detection. On the summit, a
concrete base or step exists with an illegible date on it. It is
speculated that the original tower fell (either by nature or man)
and the people of Hillsborough constructed the current tower using
steel from the original fixture. Memorial tower was quickly
neglected by stations at higher elevations such as Crotched
Mountain, Monadnock and Kearsarge (South).
The Cache:
The cache is a clear 11 cup Lock–n-Lock container containing
various items for trade.
