Heroes on the Hill

, ,

Using a large floor map of greater Boston in 1775, students analyze the local geography of the city and its surrounding area. Students use map reading skills to identify notable features, label locations and recreate the positions of the British Regulars and American Colonists in the events leading up to, during and following the Battle of Bunker Hill. Throughout the “reenactment” of the battle, students consider how the geography of Boston influenced the events and decisions surrounding the battle.

This program is offered at the Bunker Hill Monument.

National Parks of Boston

The National Parks of Boston is a constellation of three unique National Park Service sites - Boston National Historical Park, Boston African American National Historic Site, and Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. The National Parks of Boston works in partnership to preserve the resources associated with each site, provide meaningful place-based teaching and learning experiences, and engage our communities to encourage them to act as stewards for the future of their parks.
