The Memorial Arch of Tilton, sometimes referred to as Tilton's Folly,[2] or simply the Tilton Arch is a historic arch on Elm Street in Northfield, New Hampshire, United States, on a hill overlooking the town of Tilton. The 55-foot-tall arch (17 m) was built by Charles E. Tilton in 1882;[1][3] it was modeled after the Arch of Titus in Rome,[3] its surfaces, however, modeled in the rustication that was currently a fashionable feature of Romanesque revival building. The Memorial Arch of Tilton was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
