Lawson Tower, Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (15 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Scituate Points of Interest & Landmarks • Observation Decks & Towers

A Wonderful Historical Landmark

This magnificent bell tower has 121 spiral wooden steps to the top, where bells are rung that play songs. The view is breathtaking. The Scituate Historical Society that manages these landmarks is a wonderful organization, as most Historical Societies are. The buildings are open only on certain days of the year, so make sure you take advantage on those days. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. It's great for young and old alike. Our family, personally, loves to take in history. You should too!

    Lawson Tower
    This is a historical site in Scituate. A beautiful tower built in 1902 to cover a water tower that was placed on the property by the town of Scituate. The water tower was in Mrs. Lawson's option an eyesore so her husband Thomas Lawson sent out his architechs to find and reproduce a tower to cover the water tower. It is open to the public only on specific days. A stairway leds to the top and the bell room the offer views of the surrounding area. It is very beautiful. Look at the Town of Scituate Historical Society website for dates that it is open.

    I can see for Miles
    When open the Lawson Tower is one of the hidden gems of Scituate. You have to climb to the top so you can see the ocean and how the land runs down to the water. You can see Minot light as well
