Dairy Hill

Dairy Hill is a summit located in Central New York Region of New York located in the Town of Norway in Herkimer County, southeast of Norway. The mountain is the former location of a steel fire lookout tower.

History

In 1934, the CCC built a International Derrick tower on the mountain. It was provided to the state by the United States Forest Service. The tower was first staffed in 1935, reporting 6 fires and 568 visitors. The tower ceased fire lookout operations in 1986. The tower and cabin were later removed because of extreme vandalism of the tower and the site.
