Accessible by LaTourette's Red Trail, Heyerdahl Hill stands at 241 feet and is topped with the remains of a historic stone building. In 1861, Thorwald Heyerdahl leased a plot of land from George G. Byron and built a stone house. He later purchased the property in 1866, as well as two adjoining parcels in 1871 from J.W. Johnson and D.J. Tyson.
