The Memorial Arch of Tilton, also known as Tilton's Folly, is a historic arch located in Northfield, New Hampshire. Built in 1882 by Charles E. Tilton, the 55-foot-tall arch overlooks the town of Tilton and was inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome.

Constructed of Concord granite, the arch sits atop a hill 150 feet above the Winnipesaukee River and features a 50-ton sarcophagus and a red granite Numidian lion at its base. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the Memorial Arch of Tilton serves as a symbol of peace and victory in the local community.
