The public is encouraged to attend to hear about:

• What designation can mean for the neighborhood
• Potential Landmark District boundaries
• The Study Committee and Landmark District designation process

On July 6, 2022, 26 registered voters submitted a petition to the Boston Landmarks Commission to recognize the historic planning and development of the Monument Square area, the neighborhood surrounding the Bunker Hill Monument. The Study Committee is tasked with understanding and documenting the historic, architectural, and archaeological significance of the neighborhood, proposing the district’s boundaries, and crafting recommendations for long-term management of the district that preserve the area’s unique character while allowing thoughtful, context-sensitive growth.

Stay Involved

Public participation is essential to the Study Committee’s work. All materials, agendas, approved minutes, presentations, and meeting recordings are available at boston.gov/monumentsquare. Physical binders of all documents can also be reviewed at the Charlestown Branch Library.

The series is hosted by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department with additional support from the Mayor’s Office of Tourism, Sports, and Entertainment.

Free popcorn will be provided while supplies last.
