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, increasing Boston's land mass by 150%.[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 it's present location behind the Massachusetts State House, where the summit of Beacon Hill used to be.
