250 Years Ago: High Ground, High Stakes in the Fight for Boston — Dorchester Heights

250 years ago, high above Boston Harbor, the fate of a revolution hinged on frozen ground and the quick thinking of General Washington. The twin hills of Dorchester Heights provided exactly the advantage the Continental Army needed in the Battle of Boston. A bold tactical move—and a little help from the weather—produced a bloodless victory. Join us this week as we explore the ins and outs of this remarkable military achievement and its importance to the American Revolution.
