In Weston, Massachusetts, across the Charles River from Brandeis University, an
unusual structure rises between the trees; a forty foot stone tower, complete
with spiral staircase and ramparts, weathered and stained with time, looking
distinctly out of place within earshot of I-95. The story of how it came to be
involves Vikings, a baking soda magnate, 16th century natural philosophy, the
discovery of America, and at the center of it all is the myth of Norumbega. As
one explores the area, the name comes up again and again; a map will tell you
the structure's name is Norumbega Tower, and running alongside is Norumbega
Road. Further south, one finds a Norumbega Park, and another road called
Norumbega Court.
