Historical Plate reads:
"This tablet marks the homestead of Isaac Wilson, Pioneer and Patriot. After serving throughout the Revolutionary War, he freed his slaves, and, in 1800, moved from Kentucky to Indiana. In 1820, he came to Indianapolis and built on of the first houses on "Donation Land". In 1822 he moved from the "Donation Land" to this site. He died here a year later and was buried in his front yard.
His daughter, Patsy Wilson, married Samuel J. Patterson and lived here in the homestead-- later known as the Patterson Home-- until her death. Her daughter, Fannie Paterson VanCamp, was an honored member of the Cornelia Cole Fairbanks Chapter of the D.A.R. that erected this tablet."
