[gallery (2 photos)]

Wright's Tower is a stone tower on Pine Hill in the southern area of Middlesex Fells Reservation in Medford, Massachusetts. The tower was built in the 1937 by the Works Progress Administration and named after Elizur Wright, a businessman who in the late 1800s was an important proponent of nature conservation in the area and advocate for the Fells.

Wright's Tower is easily accessible by parking near Bellevue Pond on S Border Roard to the southwest and following the signs. It's also one stop on the Skyline hiking trail that encircles the Fells. From the top of the Tower are spectacular views of Boston, the Fells, and on a clear day, the Atlantic.
