The Bunker Hill Monument is an iconic symbol of the American Revolution, located in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Erected between 1825 and 1843, this 221-foot granite obelisk honors the brave Patriots who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War. Visitors to the Monument can climb the 294 steps to the top and enjoy incredible views of Boston's metropolitan area. At the base of the Monument is a lodge that houses a statue of one of the patriots, Dr. Joseph Warren. Additionally, the Bunker Hill Museum is located across the street and provides informative displays about the pivotal battle. Whether you are a history buff or simply looking for a fun educational outing, the Bunker Hill Monument is a great place to explore.
