U.S. #1056 features one of the first major battles of the Revolutionary War the Battle of Bunker Hill. A 221-foot monument rises above the battlefield the first major engagement between British and Colonial forces. The first monument to the battle was an 18-foot-tall wooden pillar with an urn. It was built in 1794 by King Solomons Lodge of Masons in honor of Dr. Joseph Warren, a prominent Colonial figure slain in the battle. The current monument was built in 1842.
