Actually 102 sites according to this website Massachusetts Fire Tower Info.
It also says that there are currently 43 standing active towers. I'm sure the active purpose for most are not fire look-outs, but most likely communication towers.

i noticed that too (102) but if you look at the list there are 92 listed, some with ##A's - i think that may mean that they were moved (i'm not sure)?

I think I understand the information now. What the 92 vs. 102 number is. There are some towers with a A or B next to the number. It's because the tower was rebuilt next to the old one for one reason or another. They count as 2 seperate towers at the bottom of the page, but to be more specific there has been 92 different tower sites, 10 of which have had the tower rebuilt in the same place or within several feet.
The pictures are really cool. I love the fact that I live at the bottom of Nobscot Hill. I can hike up or drive up to the top and go up into the tower and see Boston - Worcester and North to Monadnok. It's awsome! Wish I new how to gain access to the little cabin on top.
