The last place you’ll visit is Bunker Hill. The Bunker Hill Monument is a 221-foot granite obelisk that sits on the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the first time a Colonial army held its own against the British army and the first major battle of the American Revolution. The monument is open daily from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm and the exhibit lodge is open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. It is quite a walk, but this is the last stop of your day and the view from the top is well worth having to take all of those stairs!
