The Chickatawbut Observation Tower is a historic tower on Chickatawbut Road in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Unlike Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, a similar tower at the opposite end of the Blue Hills Reservation, Chickatawbut tower is not open to the public. Although its National Register of Historic Places listing gives a 1930 date, the tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, which wasn't founded until 1933.[2]
Chickatawbut was a sachem of the Wampanoag Indian tribe who was active in the area in the 17th century.
The tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
