The story
Penn Mountain is a 1,808-foot-tall (551 m) mountain in the Tug Hill region of New York. It is located west of East Steuben in the town of Steuben in Oneida County. The mountain is the former site of an 80-foot-tall (24 m) steel fire lookout tower. The tower later ceased fire lookout operations and was removed in 1976.
