The Bunker Hill Monument is a monument erected at the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston, Massachusetts, which was among the first major battles between the United Colonies and the British Empire in the American Revolutionary War. It has 294 stairs to climb to the top. The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long path through Boston that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States.

These landmarks will be included in our #HistoricTrailsStoryMaps. #abuelosmochileros_towers #abuelosmochileros_trails #abuelosmochileros_boston...
