Description
Harris Mountain Lookout, a 50 wooden tower with 14 x 14 live-in cab and catwalk was the only tower of its type in the state of Maine. It was built by the U.S. Forest Service and originally stood on the Allegheny National Forest in northwestern Pennsylvania. In 1940 the tower was dismantled and purchased by the Maine Forest Service, which moved it to this location. The tower was removed in 2006.
