From the crest of Dorchester Heights, this view frames the upper stage of the marble shaft and its lantern against the harbor below. In March 1776, Continental forces fortified this hill with cannon hauled from Fort Ticonderoga, positioning artillery over the British lines and prompting their evacuation of Boston on March 17. The monument, completed in 1902, commemorates that turning point and is now one of the Boston National Historical Park's sites.
