I think this is the most important revolutionary war monument in Boston, but the secular scholars bately even mention it because of the miracles that cannot be explained. I really like the book called the Washington Hypothesis that talks about this. It is sad that we highlight the battle of Bunker Hill and don't even mention the miracles that occurred at Dorchester Heights in Boston during the revolutionary war. 1) The fact that Henry Knox was able to bring the war cannons 300 miles on sledges that could only be moved if it snowed, and it snowed and froze and allowed him to do that. 2) The incredible fog that settled and allowed George Washington to move his men in the dark of night right past all of the men and centuries of the British war machine settled in Boston to the Dorchester heights location that was the most strategic still available 3) God brought in a full-on hurricane too stop the British from attacking, but that wasn't all 4) He brought a plague of smallpox that drove the British out of Boston against a very undermanned American military. The full story should be told and it is not. When we were here there were several government contractors inspecting it to place bids to replace all the hardscape, which means the cement walks etc which have been sorely neglected, but it's nice to see something is happening though I hear it's taking 5 to 7 years.

This is one of the city's best spots to watch the sun set. It's also great for the Fourth of July! And any random afternoon or evening, you'll find a group of locals and their dogs hanging out up here, playing and admiring the city views.

A beautiful park that is historically significant. Apparently, the monument is in need of repairs and closed for the time being. I'm sure it would have been spectacular to be able to climb to the top and see the view from there!
