Breed's Hill Plaque
Plaque that states, "Breed's Hill Site of the Battle of Bunker Hill Fought June 17, 1775 Although orders were issued by the Committee of Safety to Seize and Fortify Bunker Hill the Colonial Officers After Consultation Fortified this Hill on June 16, 1775."
In 1923, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then the caretaker of the Bunker Hill Monument, installed this plaque on the exterior of the Bunker Hill Lodge adjacent to the Monument. Breed family members had appealed to the state, as they had previously appealed to the Bunker Hill Monument Association when the Association owned the Monument, that the name "Breed's Hill" was not displayed somewhere prominently on the hill. State officials agreed and installed this plaque.
