Step up to the Bunker Hill Monument, which honors one of the first major battles of the American Revolution, fought on June 17, 1775. Though named for nearby Bunker Hill, the fighting mainly took place on Breed’s Hill, where the 221-foot monument stands today. The British won, but at a heavy cost, and the battle gave us the famous line “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” Climb all 294 steps for panoramic views of Boston, then explore the nearby museum. Our audio tour brings the story of the battle to life at every step.
