History
2
This property was the home of Thomas Stone, one of Maryland's signers of the Declaration of Independence. As a member of the Continental Congress, Stone also helped draft the Articles of Confederation that would ultimately lead to the creation of the United States Constitution. Stone acquired this property in 1770 and shortly thereafter began building a house here, which became the Stone family home for six generations. On July 4, 1776, Thomas Stone and other colonial representatives agreed to a Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, and the American Revolution continued for five more years before Great Britain conceded defeat.
