Across the Charles River in Boston, you can visit the Bunker Hill Monument. This obelisk was built in 1834, but not on the site of the actual battle of Bunker Hill. This memorial is actually closer in on Breed's Hill, Bunker Hill was further out. You can climb the monument and have a nice view back over Boston and out over the river. There are 294 steps to the top, no elevator. Across the street from the monument is a small museum. There is not a lot there, but on the second floor (yes, we climbed more stairs, but found an elevator when we were leaving!) we found a few things that interested us and we enjoyed listening to a narration about the battle. It is always amazing to listen to these stories of courage and patriotism that our forefather's fought for.
