About King Philip's Hill

Mountain Peaks, Interesting Places, Natural, Geological Formations

King Philip's Hill is a historic site off Old Bernardston Road in Northfield, Massachusetts. In 1675 the Wampanoag chief Metacom, also called "King Philip" by English colonists, is said to have held council here during King Philip's War. The hill has evidence of what appear to be trenches and other remnants of fortification from the time, but the exact nature of these is debatable; 19th century area historian George Sheldon believed the trenches to be the work of a colonist.

The site added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It is now owned by the town, and there is a trail that loops around and over the hill, with informational signs along the way.
