| A little farther west on the true summit of Great Blue Hill is the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory which has been collecting climatological data since 1885. Neat architecture, too! A sign on the nearby Kite Shed says the world's first continuous sounding of the atmosphere by kite was done here in August 1894, with the highest kite flight (15,793 feet) in July 1900. |
