In order to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Bunker Hill was constructed between 1827 to 1873 as a historical granite obelisk. The misnomer that Bunker Hill is has actually confused our readers: It is actually on top of Breeds Hill where the fight took place. Well known lawyer and antiquarian William Ticknor had first suggested the idea for Bunker Hills construction and interested a group of workers for its beginning. The brainchildren of the entire idea included William Tudor, Daniel Webster, Professor George Ticknor, Doctor John C. Warren, William Sullivan, and George Blake plus Colonel Handasyd Perkins. You can learn more about this historical site by simply going to Boston and spending a lifetime experience in the heart of Charlestown, Boston, Massachusetts. Make sure you have the entertainment you deserve by simply sailing a boat at the Charlestown side of the Charles River, take photographs of the Bunker Hill or simply sit down and relax in the Bunker Hill Lodge.

Best Time to Visit Boston
Boston is a city for all seasons depending on your taste and desired activities during the vacation. There is no specific time of the year when prices and booking of accommodation and travel gets significantly cheap and easy due to the constant current of visitors to that are throughout the twelve months. However, things get tougher in early autumn and early summer as parents from all over the state and country flock the city to attend graduation ceremonies and drop off students at the wide array of universities close to the city. Although you might find it hard to find a place to stay at affordable rates in the summers, the city has much to offer as its filled with people and crowded with activities during that time. Winters presents another side of the city as the weather gets worse but rich indoor activities take priority over the preceding summer festivities. Attractive activities include theater, exhibitions, fine dining and holiday celebrations, and if you are a fan of any one of these the best time for you to visit is the winter.
