In July 1988, a monument was erected at this site in Rivers, in what is now the Municipality of Riverdale, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its formal incorporation as a Village. Also incorporated into the monument is the original bell from Rivers Consolidated School No. 1484 (1910-1974). A monument that appears to have once had a large plaque imbedded in it now has a small plaque commemorating the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on 12 May 1937.
