Thomas Stone, one of the 56 signers of the
United States Declaration of Independence. He led a very comfortable life as a planter and lawyer. His home and estate of 440-acres were owned by the Stone family until 1936.Fire nearly destroyed it in 1977, and the National Park Service purchased it a few years later, restoring it and opening it to the public in 1997. Me and my friend took a tour guided by a national park ranger.
We later stopped by the re-created Port Tobacco Courthouse. The federal-style brick building had burned in 1892 in a suspicious fire that sparked the relocation of the county seat. The building was reconstructed in 1972.
