The Overlook Shelter Ruins were originally built as a fieldhouse and destroyed by fire some time in the 1940s. These are now a great photo opportunity not far from the Franklin Park Playstead.

Definitely overgrow now, but it was a great way to spend a couple of hours wandering around to check out. As long as you watch out for the poison ivy, you should be fine.

The ruins make it an interesting place. Not too many people around at the end of November. Also, poison ivy is less of a problem at this time of year.

These ruins are so lovely just off the parking lot by the zoo. It is a short walk where you feel lost and in the middle of an English book from the past. I saw the fog exhibit here and it was my favorite place of all the different exhibits that were around Boston. It is old but refreshingly new depending at which time of year you visit and what the seasons the beautiful leaves of autumn or the snow of winter. It makes you feel like you're going back in history in the middle of the city and is a beautiful sanctuary from the hecticness that...

I think an excavation will show the oldest civilization to ever be discovered based on the abilities to carve precision angular cuts to the stones that are squared and elevated perfectly just yet to be able to show the water powers and precisions to the empire hidden in here by a stone wagon...
