Dorchester Heights, in South Boston, is where American forces under Henry Knox's artillery, brought from Fort Ticonderoga, took up positions in March 1776. Their guns overlooked the British garrison in Boston, and the threat they posed led British commander William Howe to evacuate the city later that month. The stone tower seen here was erected in 1902 to commemorate that victory, and it stands on the summit of the hill within the Boston National Historic Park. Its plain granite form makes a useful contrast with the surrounding grassland and the harbor views that the position once commanded.
