A plaque commemorating Richard Pierpoint can be seen on the grounds of John Black Public School, 141 Lamond Street, in Fergus, Ontario. It was originally erected in front of the school, which sits in the middle of what was Pierpoint's property in the Glen Lamond area of West Garafraxa Township (Meyler and Meyler 1999).
