Bunker Hill Museum 
Description
A small museum located in the former public library that tells the story of the battle of bunker hill, a pyrrhic victory for the British at the start of the American War of Independence. The British had planned to take the high ground so that they could control the city of Boston, but the locals had gotten word and fortified it themselves. It took the British three attempts to take the fortifications and in the process nearly half the soldiers were either killed or injured.
