Bunker Hill, Boston, Ma
The Bunker Hill Monument stands 221 feet tall at Breed's Hill, the site of the
first major battle of the American Revolution fought on June 17, 1775. Control of this
high ground near the harbor was important to the British occupation of Boston.
When colonial forces chose to fortify Charlestown, they bypassed the more dominant
"Bunker Hill" and dug in on Breed's Hill which was lower and closer to the water. The
American Revolution was very brutal battle in American history.
Old Sturbridge Village
A trip to Old Sturbridge Village, the largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast, is a
journey through time to a rural New England town of the 1830s. Visitors are invited into more
than 40 original buildings each carefully researched, restored, and brought to the museum site
from towns throughout New England. These include homes, meetinghouses, a district school,
country store, bank, law office, printing office, carding mill, sawmill, gristmill, pottery,
blacksmith shop, shoe shop, and cooper shop. The Old Sturbridge Village is showing kids and
adults how people lived back then.
Boston Massacre Site
In front of the Old State House, a circle of cobblestones commemorates the Boston
Massacre.
At this site, tensions between the colonists and British soldiers erupted into violence
on March 5, 1770. A minor dispute between a wigmaker's young apprentice and a
British sentry turned into a riot. The relief soldiers that came to the aid of the British
were met by an angry crowd of colonists who hurled snowballs, rocks, clubs, and
insults. The soldiers fired into the crowd and killed five colonists. Samuel Adams and
4. other patriots called the event a "massacre”. Some people call the shop heard
around the world.
