W.P. Dilworth, Sr. sponsored this Huntsville Historical Society marker at the site of the Monte Sano Female Seminary. The marker was originally dedicated on September 22, 1957, but was later removed from the site and assumed lost for many years. After the marker was rediscovered, it was erected at the northwest comer of Lookout Drive and Feam Street in Huntsville, Alabama. A rededication ceremony was held with the Monte Sano Historical Association on April 19, 1998. References 8, 10, 24, 25, and 90 reveal additional information about the seminary and its founders.
