This view focuses on the west gate of the Dorchester Heights grounds, where the entrance leads visitors toward the monument on the hill above South Boston. In March 1776, Continental forces under George Washington fortified these heights with cannon that Henry Knox had hauled overland from Fort Ticonderoga. Their guns overlooked Boston and the harbor, and the British army evacuated the city on March 17, 1776. The granite obelisk that now stands here was completed in 1902 to mark that turning point.
