Bunker Hill

Bunker Hill is a location and potential settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287. Upon completing the quest The Battle of Bunker Hill, the player character can unlock this settlement by speaking to Kessler. Completing Kessler's job to save abducted caravan workers also allows the construction of trade caravan posts at other settlements.

History
During the American Revolution, the area was the site of a battle between General Israel Putnam of the Colonial Army and his British counterpart, General William Howe. Though it was primarily fought on nearby Breed's Hill, the Battle of Bunker Hill received its name from the primary British objective, which they ultimately took. While the Colonial forces were defeated, they had inflicted significant casualties on the British Army, convincing them to avoid further engagements during the Siege of Boston.

After the Great War, the memorial to the fallen soldiers still stands, though caravan traders have made their home here. In the past, the Minutemen protected the settlement from the dangers of the Commonwealth, but after failing to answer a call during a raider attack, the Minutemen are no longer held in high esteem in the settlement, and they rely mostly on mercenary protection against things that cannot be bought, such as super mutants.

The Railroad has a base underneath the complex, where they prepare synths for extradition from the Commonwealth. During their purge of the Railroad, the Institute attacks this complex, and it is unknown what the outcome of the battle is.

Layout
The perimeter of Bunker Hill is surrounded by a large wall, only allowing access through the main gate on the south side and a small door on the east side. Just in front of the main gate is an obelisk with stairs leading to the top. Behind that is a large open space with Deb, the general storekeeper, to the east, one of the caravan leaders in the northeast and Stockton in the northwest. On the west side behind the bar is an inaccessible hatch to the utility basement.

Just west of the entrance to the settlement there's Kay's building where medical treatment is available, and the workbench when the settlement has been earned. Next to that in the southwest corner is Kessler's home. Following the wall there's another shack, then in the northwest corner is the Savoldi's place where food and lodging is available. The north and east sides contain a couple more shacks.

Behind the scenes

 * In the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Bunker Hill was predominantly fought on Breed's Hill, not Bunker Hill. Bunker Hill lay some distance to the north and west of Breed's Hill, adjacent to the narrow land bridge that once connected the Charlestown Peninsula to Cambridge (extensive landfill has largely erased the geographical distinction between Charlestown and the mainland).
 * The real-world Bunker Hill Monument is constructed at the site of the battle, on Breed's Hill. Therefore, much like its real-world counterpart, the in-game Battle of Bunker Hill does not take place on Bunker Hill.
