On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the Select Board unanimously approved the 250th Anniversary Task Force request to install a pink granite stone with a commemorative plaque high on the bluff next to the existing overlook platform and bench in the Heights.
 Screenshots taken the Select Board meeting recording. 
Robert Ripley, Jr. (Task Force member) mentioned that the stone was quarried out of West Falmouth and that the location was chosen to keep it safe from future erosion (as opposed to Surf Drive), where there would be ample foot traffic, and would be noticeable to people driving by. There will be a formal unveiling just prior to July 4, 2026.
Karen Rinaldo (Task Force member and artist who designed the logo) spoke briefly clarifying the installation location.
Select Board member Doug Jones commented that âI really like the logo and I like that you included the young Slocum boy* rowing over to warn us about the impending attack.â
Mr. Ripley replied that they will be back to the Select Board about a series of banners and other requests through 2026, the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The stone was provided by the DPW which will assist with its installation. Peter McConarty, DPW Director, assured the Select Board that there would be no problem installing it where planned.

*âOn April 2, 1779, the British were being entertained at the Pasque Island home of sympathizer John Slocum, who overheard the naval officersâ plan to invade Falmouth the next morning. Slocum, whose loyalty to Falmouth settlers appears to have outweighed his British sympathies, sent his son across to Woods Hole in a rowboat to warn the Colonials. The British were greeted by rebel gunfire from the beach and ultimately were repelled.â (Quote from Cape Cod Times Pieces of History).
