The Chickatawbut Observation Tower is a historic tower on Chickatawbut Road in Quincy, Massachusetts, in the Blue Hill Reservation, a Massachusetts state park.
Unlike Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, a similar tower at the opposite end of the reservation, Chickatawbut tower is not open to the public. The tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.[2] It is named for Chickatawbut, who was a 17th-century sachem of the Wampanoag Indian tribe.
The tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
