In Yankee Magazine’s March/April 2011 Up Close feature, Bunker Hill Monument, Charlestown, Massachusetts, (pg. 120) former NHTI Library Director Wm John Hare has done his research on the monument which included climbing all 294 steps to the top. Hare shares with Yankee readers interesting, little known, fun and obscure facts and stories about a monument sited on Breed’s Hill in Charlestown, MA where most of the Revolutionary War battle of Bunker Hill was fought (Bunker Hill is adjacent to Breed’s Hill). While the monument itself is closed until summer due to restoration, the grounds and museum are open, without charge for admission.
