HELP US
PRESERVE
THE THOMAS PAINE COTTAGE
HISTORIC HOME
Since 1908, the HNRHA, administrators of
the Museum, has relied on the generosity of
members, benefactors & people like you
to keep this historical treasure open.
Currently receiving no federal funding
for operating expenses.
It is our honor to preserve this historical home first owned by Huguenot loyalists & then by Founding Father Thomas Paine.  Join us in our mission to maintain a piece of local and national history for generations to come.
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value"
