Monument Square
Monument Square consists of the Bunker Hill Monument and the local area surrounding it. The first monument built on this site in 1794 was actually an 18-foot wooden pillar with a gilt urn to honor fallen patriot and mason, Dr. Joseph Warren. In 1823, a group of prominent citizens formed the Bunker Hill Monument Association and lobbied to construct something better, to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill. This is the monument that we see standing there today.

Perhaps the most underrated point of interest on the Boston Freedom Trail, this granite obelisk rises 221 ft. above Breed's Hill, where every alert school child can tell you the battle was actually fought (on June 17, 1775 to be specific). Take a few deep breaths and climb the 294-step spiral staircase (there's no elevator) for a splendid view of Boston, the Harbor, and beyond. Be warned that the monument, completed in 1843, closes during icy times, though exhibits stay open. “Battle talks” are offered by rangers upon request. Admission is Free.
