Artifacts Collection

The Bunker Hill Monument Association is the proud steward of a collection of historic artifacts. To experience the Battle of Bunker Hill, we invite you to visit the Monument and the Bunker Hill Museum to enjoy some of the artifacts and memorabilia displayed.

The BHMA was formed in 1823 to memorialize the Battle of Bunker Hill. Over the years items related to the Battle of Bunker Hill and to the construction of the Monument have been donated to the BHMA. Also, the BHMA has purchased items to add to their collection.
