The story
Hooker Mountain is a 2,310-foot-tall (700 m) mountain in the Central New York region of New York. It is located in Otsego County northwest of the hamlet of Schenevus. In 1935, a 79-foot-6-inch-tall (24.23 m) fire tower was installed on the mountain by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The tower ceased operations at the end of 1970, and later sold and removed in 1975.
