The Eliot Tower at Milton's Blue Hills Reservation and thousands of other New England landmarks were built during the 1930s under Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. From hikers watching the foamy sea crash against the jagged rocks along Acadia National Park’s Ocean Path to families enjoying peanuts and Cracker Jack at a Pawtucket Red Sox game to skiers schussing down the Stowe Mountain slopes, New Englanders continue to enjoy the fruits of public works and conservation projects built by federal workers brandishing picks, shovels, and axes.
