Bunker Hill Monument, Boston

294 steps to the top! It was a great monument and worth the climb. The staff were very informative. I would recommend you having moderate fitness to climb the monument. It is a tough walk up. It’s completely free.

Officially this is the end of the Freedom Trail, but for us it was the start. The distance from its start at Boston Common park to here is significant and requires much walking and because of the location across the bridge (where's nothing to see if walking) we parked our car here and visited this place first and in walking distance the USS Constitution. After that we moved our car downtown and visited all the others. This is the site of the famous Revolutionary War battle, one of the bloodiest. The small museum adjacent to the obelisk was closed, but there's another one across the street giving more info. The residential area around the monument is beautiful and pleasant to walk downhill towards the USS Constitution.

Bunker hill monument is a beautiful place.the weather was perfect. The obelisk was closed so you could not go in but a park ranger was there and he said they hope to have it reopened in July 2022 so people can climb to two hundred and twenty one feet to the top.there is a statue of the colonist commander general Prescott as well as plenty of markers and signage explaining location of various parts and orientation on the fortifications and how the battle unfolded. Also Patrick the park ranger on duty was very helpful and knowledgeable about the battle.this is a great place to learn a part of American history.Also from the top of the hill is a great view of downtown Boston.

I am fascinated by the history of the birth of America and for anyone like-minded The Bunker Hill Monument is a must see. It's located in Charlestown which is a good hike from Boston and ALL UPHILL but worth it. The monument is enormous and really amazing. It's located in a spacious park with other smaller monuments and statues. There's plenty of signage and plaques to give you all of the history of the battle that took place here. One of my favorite stops on The Freedom Trail.
