In 1966 the City of Anaconda renamed their downtown park to Kennedy Commons, in honor of the late John F. Kennedy. At about that time the Knights of Columbus had this plaque mounted in a U-shaped brick planter near the southeast corner of Kennedy Commons.

The plaque reads:

IN MEMORIAM
JOHN F. KENNEDY
1917 - 1963

AND SO MY FELLOW AMERICANS
ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY
CAN DO FOR YOU - ASK WHAT

DEDICATED BY THE CITIZENS OF ANACONDA

The other memorial to JFK is a large bronze bust situated at the northeast corner of Kennedy Commons.
