| Not too much is known about the Drummer Hill Tow. According to guidebooks, it had a 900 foot tow and operated in Keene in the late 1940's. A search on Terraserver found a reference to a Drummer Hill Park just north of town...I assume this is it. |

However, in 1951 guidebooks
listed a Beach Hill Tow with a lift of almost the same length. A Beech
Hill is located just north of the above mentioned Drummer Hill Park. I'm
betting the two areas area the same. No other references exist on this
area.
Here's an aerial shot of the Drummer Hill area...not much to see. If you use your imagination, you can almost spot a liftline left of the word "approx", but that could be something completely different. |

Do you remember this area? If so, let us know.
