This 221-foot granite obelisk remembers the Battle of Bunker Hill. Rangers provide details about the history of the crucial battle, and seasonal musket-firings add a note of authenticity. Make the 294-step climb to the top of the monument for breathtaking views of Boston. Two little-known facts: the Battle of Bunker Hill was actually fought on Breed's Hill, and the Bunker Hill Monument is actually located atop Breed's Hill. The true Bunker Hill is actually a quarter-mile from the monument.
Local Expert Tip
The monument sits in Charlestown, a cool neighborhood to explore. Stop into Warren Tavern for lunch and get a little more history. Many of our Founding Fathers are said to have stopped in for a pint or a meal.
