The story

Woodhull Mountain is a 2,359-foot-tall (719 m) mountain in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. It is located east-southeast of Minnehaha in the Town of Webb in Herkimer County. In 1916, a 50-foot-tall (15 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the mountain. The tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1970 season. The tower still remains and is open to the public with the exception of the tower cab.
