| Notes: |
This bronze bust of Thomas Gilbert was created in 1895 to honor a businessman who came to Grand Rapids in 1855 and held many civic positions here. Mr. Gilbert was known for his generosity. He personally tended the park, keeping cattle and swine out of the park, building walks, and planting trees, some of which are still seen in the park today.
