Inscription. This facility recognizes Gilbert W. Dilley (1902-1996), a life-long student of Ohio history; an avid collector of Ohio Indian artifacts; a long standing trustee, past president, and generous benefactor of the Ohio Historical Society; and a true steward of Ohio's significant historic sites, especially Flint Ridge.

Gilbert and his wife, Marguerite, encouraged and supported appreciation of Ohio's ancient peoples and the historical sites that afford a glimpse of Ohio's distant past.

His friendship is sorely missed, but his many contributions and spirit endure.
