The Grand Hotel: The most influential and elegant of all hotels in Mont Vernon was The Grand Hotel. It was one of the closest grand hotels to Boston, so it attracted many tourists. In the summer, the children and wives of the rich businessmen of Boston would travel there for the summer, and the fathers would come on the weekends. The hotel offered horseback riding, swimming, golf and more. The picturesque view from the top of the hill it sat on, Grand Hill, was what attracted many. On a good clear day, some would say you could see Boston. One of the many local attractions the people would visit was Frog Rock, just over the border in New Boston. It was a large glacial rock shaped like a sitting frog. Another hot spot for tourists was Purgatory Falls. People from the hotels hiked to see the beautiful waterfalls, and some would camp out for a few nights. The hotel was so large that you could see it from miles away. Sadly, it was struck by lighting and burned down in the 1930s.
