See why preserving Mt. Tom and the entire range largely as open space says much about who we are and what we value. This site also speaks of volunteering and what –in small ways, volunteers can do to make a difference. Image courtesy of a friend of the Mt. Tom Range
B17 Memorial
The B17 Memorial, on the service road to the top of Mt. Tom, stands in memory of 25 returning servicemen of WWII whose lives, while in route from Goose Bay Labrador in 1946, came to a close when their aircraft crashed near this site. The memorial stone is engraved with the symbols of the various branches of military service, brief words about the crash, names of the servicemen and a prayer by Norman Cote, originator of the memorial. The site is funded by people like you and maintained by dedicated volunteers.
