For many years, this bell stood at the honor farm at Frank Raines Park in Del Puerto Canyon and was returned to Patterson because it was believed to be either the old Las Palmas School bell or the Presbyterian Church bell, both of which no longer exist. It was dedicated on June 2, 2000 by the Patterson Township Historical Society. The monument was erected with love by community members using bricks recovered from the fire-damaged Del Puerto Hotel, and a nearby time capsule was dedicated on September 30, 2000 and donated by the Patterson Lions Club.
