A stream leading out of the park. |
Mama duck out for a swim with her four ducklings! |
Graffiti(?) on a boulder out in the woods off of the path in Derryfield Park. Three deer heads? Are they liars? Oh deer... |
More odd graffiti on the other side of the boulder. An evil popsicle? |
A mysterious sign on a telephone pole near the city reservoir. What could it mean? |
The Weston Observatory, built in 1896-97 with funds donated by former Manchester mayor (and later New Hampshire governor) James A. Weston, is located on top of a hill near a reservoir adjacent to Derryfield Park. The tower is 66 feet tall and supposedly has a great view of the surrounding area from the top. Sadly, the gate was padlocked and the door was closed when I found it. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. |
Outside the tower are two cannons, each weighing over 1400 pounds. |
