Selectboard approves plaque and stone benches for 250th celebration, with final wording to be approved by board
Summary
The board approved resident proposals to add a small plaque about Captain Baker, install two stone benches from the local quarry and move (but not remove) original benches; final plaque wording will be approved by the Selectboard.
Residents presented a drawing proposing a smaller plaque describing where Captain Baker died and the origin of the existing larger plaque, plus two new stone benches made from Isle La Motte quarry stone. Chair Peter Brzozowy said the board supports the concept but reserved final approval of the plaque wording and the placement of the original benches. The motion to implement the drawing, place a smaller plaque and add two benches passed unanimously.
Board members also discussed refurbishing the cannon and cannon balls in time for the celebration, and asked that the group of interested residents confirm they are the same organizing group previously recognized by the town to avoid duplicate efforts. The item will return to a future agenda for further details on wording, siting and any conservation or structural reviews required.
