New history panel marks Mount Battie Tower’s 100th anniversary

Visitors to Mt. Battie can learn more about the history of the Mt. Battie Tower, thanks to a local group that raises funds to maintain the tower, cooperation from the State Department of Agriculture, and Camden Hills State Park management. A new history panel unveiled Aug. 21 tells the the story of the tower, which is a memorial to the soldiers of World War I and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
