America250: The Marylanders Who Committed Treason

Signing the Declaration was not just symbolic—it was an act of treason against the British Crown. 

Join us as we explore the lives of Maryland’s four signers of the Declaration of Independence—Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, William Paca, and Thomas Stone. Through their stories, we’ll examine the political tensions, personal convictions, and uncertain path that led from colonial resistance to independence. Discover how these individuals helped shape a nation—and what signing the Declaration truly meant in a time of revolution.
