Thomas Stone National Historic Site

National Park Service, Maryland.

In 1776, Thomas Stone and 55 others signed the Declaration of Independence. In doing so, Stone risked his home, his family's security, and even his life. Stone supported the Declaration of Independence's promise of freedom. Yet he was also an enslaver, holding many people in bondage at Haberdeventure.
