In 1776, Thomas Stone and 55 other courageous men signed the Declaration of Independence, choosing revolution in the process. By doing so, Stone risked his home, his family's security, and even his life for independence. The revolutionary document he signed gave birth to a new nation and ultimately changed the world. As the nation prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026, we reflect on the year 1775 and the world of Thomas Stone, a frequently overlooked Founding Father.
