Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory

The Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory was established by Abbott Lawrence Rotch in 1885 to investigate weather patterns and maintain weather records. The administration of the Observatory was combined with that of Harvard University's Division of Engineering and Applied Physics in 1959, at which time the U.S. Weather Bureau assumed the responsibility for conducting routine weather observations at the Blue Hill station. The University's lease of the Blue Hill facility from the Metropolitan District ceased in 1971.
