Two Nations, One Battle: Bunker Hill in British and American Memory

As part of the ongoing 250th anniversary celebrations of the American Revolution, the National Park Service has partnered with the Friends of the Charlestown Public Library, the Bunker Hill Monument Association, British Consulate-General Boston, and Bunker Hill Community College to present a special panel discussion exploring the Battle of Bunker Hill from both American and British perspectives.

Join us on Thursday, June 5th at Bunker Hill Community College for a moderated conversation between two distinguished historians—one American and one British—as they examine the enduring legacy of one of the Revolution’s most pivotal early battles. Through thoughtful dialogue and historical insight, the panel will explore how the Battle of Bunker Hill has been remembered, interpreted, and understood on both sides of the Atlantic over the past 250 years.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and take part in a broader community conversation following the discussion. This free public event promises to offer a compelling reflection on the past—and what it means for us today.
