There is lots going on at the Bunker Hill Monument this week … both good and not so good.

There’s more than just events and a parade happening this week surrounding the Battle of Bunker Hill.

This is super cool – Archaeologists are hard at work searching for remnants of the original Battle of Bunker Hill fortification as Charlestown prepares to commemorate the 251st anniversary of the historic battle. According to the Boston Globe, the team believes it may have identified the location of the long-lost earthen redoubt where Colonial forces made their stand against British troops on June 17, 1775. Check out the full story, here!

This is not super cool – Some exhibit quotes at the historic Bunker Hill Monument are slated for removal after a National Park Service review, according to The Washington Post. The review was reportedly prompted by a visitor complaint and led to the removal of several quotes on immigration, slavery, and anti-war themes.

The changes come as the National Park Service continues implementing federal directives aimed at removing content deemed to portray the United States as inherently oppressive. Critics argue the move amounts to censorship and erases important historical perspectives, while federal officials say the updates are part of a broader effort to ensure exhibits align with current guidelines.

Some local residents are chatting on the Charlestown Neighborhood Facebook Group about doing a protest, but nothing has been planned yet.
