One of the stops along the Freedom Trail in Boston is the BUNKER HILL MONUMENT. Here's what wikipedia has to say: The Bunker Hill Monument was erected to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill, which was among the first major battles between British and Patriot forces in the American Revolutionary War, fought there June 17, 1775. The 221-foot (67 m) granite obelisk was erected between 1827 and 1843 in Charlestown, Massachusetts, with granite from nearby Quincy conveyed to the site via the purpose-built Granite Railway, followed by a trip by barge. There are 294 steps to the top.
Terrific pov to bring both together so well. Think that's one of my favorite eras of American History. Hard to picture them building this without the advances we have today. Fav
