Bunker Hill Monument - Monument in Charlestown - Monument Sq, USA

Currently the Monument is under renovation and scaffolding is surrounding the exterior so be aware that your not going get great pictures of the outside. There are a few displays and statues on the ground floor and friendly knowledgeable personnel/security to give any assistance including access to the approx.. 250+ steps that take you to the top. I didn't do it but I did go sit in the chairs provided on the lawn and soaked up a little sun while waiting for my travel partners.

The Bunker Hill Monument stands as an iconic symbol of American history and valor. Its towering presence commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill, a pivotal moment in the American Revolutionary War. The monument's granite structure exudes a sense of strength and endurance, mirroring the courage displayed by colonial forces during the battle. As one ascends the spiral staircase within, the informative exhibits along the way offer a vivid glimpse into the historical context and significance of the battle. The panoramic view from the summit is breathtaking, providing a unique perspective of Boston's skyline and its evolution over time. However, limited visitor amenities and accessibility might pose challenges for some. Despite this, the monument's historical importance and the chance to connect with the spirit of America's fight for independence make it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking to delve into the nation's past.

This was one of, if not our favorite stops on freedom trail. It's at the very end so I think a lot of the tours skip it because it's a little further from all the other stops. Ride a blue bike to it and hike up to the top. It's a beautiful view and it will help you get your steps in for the day. May get your quads burning up a little bit

The monument was covered in scaffolding which distracted from its appearance but I understand the desire to repair before the coming anniversary. The window at the top were very dirty. Hopefully they will replaced during the repair of the monument was

Family really enjoyed this quick stop. Completely free and amazing views of Boston if you are willing to climb the steps in the monument to the top. It doesn’t sound like a lot but narrow stairway and 293 steps to the top. Definitely don’t go up if you are claustrophobic or consider yourself out of shape bc it’s a climb. Very cool audio tour is available with your phone outside and historical facts and items are inside. The best part is everything is completely free.

Visiting the local area and went for an evening walkabout up to the monument. Was under repair so scaffolding spoilt the obelisk on the lower section, but still looked lovely in the evening illuminated light and the park was lovely and clean.

It's an awesome monument to the birth of our nation. It's a must see. Without Patriots like the ones who Battle of the British there, we would not have a country today.

Bunker Hill was cool, but it was a hike to get there. I was disappointed that the building was closed, so we only got to see the outside, but it's very handicapped accessible. Lots of history and beautiful landscape. Certainly worth a visit.
