Dorchester Heights Monument - Boston National Historical Park — Attraction in Boston

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.

After an amazing overnight occupation of the high ground with powerful cannon artillery, it immediately made the British occupation of Boston untenable. The British and Loyalists left Boston two weeks later,...

Special spot in the city! There is an unbeatable view of the entire city from atop this place. There’s a monument that houses an even greater view. At the steps there are a few plaques giving some of the rich history. There are also one or two beautifully maintained memorials for war veterans that’s worth stopping at and giving thanks.

The big, open beautiful fields make you feel like you’re not in the city anymore. There are plenty of benches to soak up a good sunset on. There’s also usually a few dogs experiencing the euphoria of freshly cut grass and so you won’t want to miss...
