Charles E. Tilton also donated what is perhaps the most notable landmark in the area, the hilltop Memorial Arch. The Roman arch replica was built in the late 1800s as a memorial to his ancestors. It is built of Concord granite, 50 feet high and 40 feet wide. Ironically, the Tilton Arch is actually located across the Winnipesaukee River in the neighboring town of Northfield.
