Nothing compares to being on the hill at the base of this towering monument, Boston's rock of ages, and realizing what an incredible undertaking it was for the colonists who faced the British army for the first time in pitched battle on June 17, 1775.
Known as The Battle of Bunker Hill, bloody fighting took place throughout that steamy day, and even though British troops claimed the field by the end of the day, the casualties inflicted by soldiers from New England were staggering.
Fifty years after the battle, Lafayette set the cornerstone of this magnificent 221-foot tall memorial, and when it was dedicated seventeen years later, U.S. president John Tyler and over 100,000 people attended the ceremony. Today, the monument stands as the focal point of the battle's memory and a reminder of the roots of American self-governance.
