## Resource

A father and son, both pivotal to America’s birth, signed the Declaration of Independence — only for tragedy to strike as the son, Thomas Lynch Jr., succumbed to malaria before reaching his Caribbean exile. His father, also ill, couldn’t sign, leaving a blank space on the historic document. Meanwhile, Hopsewee House, their childhood home, now honors not just the Founding Father but the enslaved people whose labor built the plantation — with exhibits, cabins, and artifacts revealing a fuller, more honest American story.
