Dorchester Heights is a prominent hill located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is historically significant for its role during the American Revolutionary War, particularly in March 1776, when American forces fortified the area to gain a strategic advantage over the British troops in the city. The site offers panoramic views of Boston and the surrounding areas. Today, it is part of the Boston National Historical Park and features a monument commemorating the events of the siege. The park serves as a reminder of the importance of Dorchester Heights in the fight for American independence.
