Description

Listen to a ranger dressed in period clothing discuss why three men from different backgrounds stepped onto the battlefield during the Battle of Bunker Hill. They each had different ambitions, motivations, and concerns. The program concludes with a musket firing demonstration!

This program is held outside the Bunker Hill Monument (pending weather), Monument Sq, Charlestown, MA 02129, and lasts approximately 30 minutes.

There is a ramp available to use to get to the top of the hill where the program occurs. Since this program includes a musket firing demonstration it is very loud and could be uncomfortable for people with varied hearing abilities.
