Fairview Lookout on the north shore of Cobbett's Pond
Fairview Lookout was built in the boulders on the hill of the north end of Cobbett's Pond. As one of the high points on the pond, the lookout provided a clear view of the north end of the pond, and the relatively untouched shoreline in the early twentieth century; the photograph shows the view a visitor would have been treated to at the turn of the twentieth century. The picturesque spot also proved to be popular for outings and gatherings.
