Poet's Seat Tower is a 1912 sandstone observation tower, located in Greenfield, Massachusetts. It was so named to honor a long tradition of poets being drawn to the spot, in particular, the local poet Frederick Goddard Tuckerman. By 1850, the location was referred to as "Poet's Seat" by Tuckerman in a surviving herbarium entry for November 10 of that year.Plan my Greenfield trip by asking Inspirock to come up with tips and suggestions.
An earlier wooden tower was erected at the site on June 3, 1879. This first structure was built, along with a public drinking fountain and a road accessing the site, under the auspices of The Greenfield Rural Club.

Follow the narrow road to the top for a view of Greenfield from the Poet's Seat Tower. This would be a nice spot to catch sunset. The climb to the top of the tower might be a bit tricky for young...
