"Bancroft Tower is a 56-foot-high natural stone and granite tower, which looks like a miniature feudal castle. It is located in Salisbury Park, in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. It was erected in 1900, in memory of George Bancroft."(discovercentralma.org)
"Salisbury's interest in archeology was sparked during his first visit to the Yucatan peninsula in 1862. He wrote several essays on South American archeology for the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, including "Dr. LePlongeon in Yucatan," (1877) and "Terra Cotta Figure from Isla Mujeres," (1878)."(americanantiquarian.org)
