Battle of Bunker Hill - Bunker Hill Monument

The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, mainly on Breed's Hill in Charlestown during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. British forces ultimately took the ground, but suffered heavy casualties that demonstrated colonial resilience. The Bunker Hill Monument was erected on the primary site of the fighting to commemorate the battle. Annual commemorations and interpretive materials at the monument mark the location's Revolutionary War significance.
