The Narragansett Town Council meeting on October 21, 2024, focused on commemorating significant historical events that hold cultural importance for the community. Council members discussed plans for recognizing the 350th anniversary of the Great Swamp Massacre, which occurred in December 1675. This event is seen as a pivotal moment in the history of the Narragansett and Wampanoag tribes, and there is a push for it to be acknowledged as a world event.

Additionally, the council highlighted the upcoming 250th anniversary of Rhode Island's only victory in the Revolutionary War, which took place near the Pointe Judith Lighthouse. This victory, involving the capture of the English ship Siren, is considered a major achievement for the state during the war.

Another historical event mentioned was General Lafayette's visit to the Robinson Farm in 1780, where he represented General Washington in discussions with General Rochambeau. The council expressed the importance of recognizing these events to honor the town's rich history.

The discussions reflect a commitment to preserving and celebrating local heritage, with calls for the town to ensure proper recognition of these significant anniversaries.
