The Hancock- Clarke House

At the top of the monument there is a small cannon mounted on the wall, known as "The Adams," which was used in the Revolution and then fired again for the celebration of the Monument's dedication. An enthusiastic oversight led the celebratory cannoneer to blow out the side of the barrel, creating this odd memorial to the glorious past.

Amongst the busy Boston streets, this memorial was placed in the location of the Boston Massacre. There are no signs, or plaques commemorating the place, just the star and circles of stones.
