Scargo Tower

The present tower was built of cobblestone in 1901 as a memorial to the Tobey family.

The current tower, atop the area's tallest hill above the kettle of Scargo Lake, stands 30 feet high and 160 feet above sea level.

[1] The top of the tower provides a panoramic view that, on a clear day, extends as far as Provincetown[1] and the Sagamore Bridge.

A plaque placed above the entrance to the tower reads, "This tower and hilltop were given to the town of Dennis in 1929 as a memorial to Charles Tobey (1831–1888) and Francis Bassett Tobey (1833–1913).

Loyal sons of the village of Dennis where their Tobey ancestors settled in 1678.
