This waymark is part of Driving Tour 17b of Massachusetts from Lanesborough to the Summit of Mt. Greylock via Rockwell Road. American Guide Description:
Beyond the Thunderbolt, on the Summit (alt. 3505) is Bascom Lodge (open winter and summer} , a rest-house of native stone and timber. From its piazza facing south, the view embraces the Berkshire Hills country for a distance of forty miles.
Also on the summit is a Memorial Tower, 105 feet high, built of Quincy granite and dedicated to the soldiers and sailors of Massachusetts. From its top there is a magnificent view, extending as far as the White Mountains and New York Harbor.

We were able to climb up the tower and get some excellent photos. It was cloudy that day, so the best we could see is the surrounding countryside (like North Adams, for example).
