Join a ranger for a 30 minute guided tour of the Thomas Stone House to explore Thomas Stone's life as a planter, a lawyer, a politician, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

A tour of the Thomas Stone House reveals more than a series of elegant chambers and a collection of beautiful objects. The house is a reflection of experiences of the people who shared Thomas Stone's life as a planter, a lawyer, and a politician. Learn about the unique influences behind his decision to sign the Declaration of Independence and how that decision impacted his community for generations. Tours offered on Saturdays and Sundays.
