The Walter Scott Memorial Tower is a stone tower built in the early 1940s in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The tower was constructed in Anniversary Hill Park as part of a project initiated by the Works Progress Administration.[1] Improvements in the later 1940s allowed for pedestrian access via trails and footbridges, but since the 2000s the tower has been subject to graffiti and vandalism.[2] Further improvements in 2023 were slated to allow for wheelchair access to the tower.[3]
