On 17 June 1775 Abigail Adams walked up Penn's Hill with seven year old John Quincy and watched the smoke of Charlestown burning during the Battle of Bunker Hill. She had the four children of Dr. Joseph Warren in her care that day along with her own, and word came that afternoon that Warren had been killed. A stone cairn at Franklin Street and Viden Road marks the outcrop.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
