Fire Tower Finds New Life at Camp Saratoga by Daniel Schechtman Saratoga TODAY WILTON - Hundreds of spectators were on hand Saturday, May 14, to dedicate the restored Cornell Hill Fire Tower to its new location at Camp Saratoga in Wilton. The 60 foot tower, which was constructed in 1924, had fallen into disrepair before local officials and residents decided to restore the historic structure. Among those in attendance included Alex Mackay, whose great-
grandfather, Thomas C. Luther, once hosted the old tower at Stillwater's Luther Forest. Mackay, representing the Luther family, presented a plaque to Camp Saratoga during the dedication ceremony.
