ABOUT

Bunker Hill Monument

Popularly known as "The Battle of Bunker Hill," bloody fighting took place throughout a hilly landscape of fenced pastures that were situated across the Charles River from Boston. Though the British forces claimed the field, the casualties inflicted by the Provincial solders from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire were staggering. Fifty years after the battle, the the cornerstone of what would become a lasting monument and tribute to the memory of the Battle of Bunker Hill was set. The ambitious project constructed a 221-foot tall obelisk built entirely from quarried granite. It still stands to this day atop a prominence of the battlefield now known as Breed's Hill.
