Where can you peek into the home of a little-known father of American democracy? Welcome to the Thomas Stone Historic Site. Time stands still here, giving you the chance to experience rural life in the 1770s.
Before Thomas Stone signed the Declaration of Independence, he lived on this rural Maryland farm. Join a park ranger for a tour of the restored brick home. When the weather is nice, head out on your own to explore the grounds. Check out the 1800s-era stables, and look for the corn crib and tobacco barn. Pay your respects to Stone at the family cemetery. Nearby, look for four small stones—the resting place of the slaves who lived here.
