Standing as a prominent scientific landmark is the Blue Hill Observatory, surrounded by an extensive trail system featuring the Skyline Trail and the Hemlock Bound Trail. The region’s institutional history is well-represented by the Thayer Academy in Braintree and the Boston Sch for the Deaf in Randolph.
