I went here on January 12th with my boyfriend. It was the first time for both of us to visit it. There's a free museum across the street that we checked out before heading to the memorial. It had a few artifacts, informational photos, murals, and dioramas about the battle that took place. When I was walking up to the... more

We did this in very cold weather! But it was worth it! There are heated and clean public restrooms at the base of the monument. After fresheing... more

For history buffs - if you make it to the end of the Freedom Trail, don't miss the new museum at the Bunker Hill Monument.

We were hot and tired at the end of a long day,... more

I was in Boston for business and had some time so I walked the Freedom Trail. The Bunker Hill memorial is at the end before you turn around and back track to Boston. They have a model of the battle with little miniature soldiers and cannons and such. It is very detailed. I took the steps (294) to the top... more
