The Beacon Hill Monument is installed in Boston's Beacon Hill, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.[1][2]
The monument was originally located on the summit of the 138 foot Beacon Hill, until the hill was cut down from 1804 to 1829 to fill in Mill Pond, the area around today's Canal and Causeway Streets.[3] During this process in 1811 the monument was destroyed, albeit with the original plaques preserved. A 1:1 scale replica of the monument was created in 1898 and placed in its present location behind the Massachusetts State House, where the summit of Beacon Hill used to be.
