Parkitecture – Building Into The Landscape

All ages. Discover the planned “Parkitecture” of historic Bascom Lodge. This rustic structure, built by the Civilian

Conservation Corps in the 1930s, was designed to compliment the landscape on Massachusetts’ highest point. Today, the lodge is a demonstration of preservation success through

DCR’s Historic Curatorship Program, enabling future generations to enjoy mountain-top amenities. Walking tour

duration is 30 minutes. Meet at the bronze relief map on the summit. Tour route is wheelchair accessible.
