The hill has evidence of Native American use, including a stone mortar. There are also 18th-century farmers' stone walls criss-crossing the property, as well as picnic facilities near a small skating pond and athletic fields adjacent to the South Acton Fire Station.[2] The hill abuts the Discovery Museum, which often uses Great Hill for educational programs.
