Gibbet Hill is a Massachusetts summit that rises to 469 feet and is shown as a mountain, though its relatively low height makes it one of the state’s smaller named elevations. Its significance lies chiefly in the origin of its name, which local tradition connects to an incident in which an Indian was gibbeted on the summit. Apart from its elevation and that stark tradition, little else is recorded here, but the name endures as a reminder of a grim episode preserved in regional memory and attached to the landscape.
