It’s time for the nation Thomas Paine helped create to honor his legacy.

The Huguenot & New Rochelle Historical Association fully supports the efforts of the Thomas Paine Memorial Association in their mission to erect the long overdue Thomas Paine Memorial Statue.
Every voice is important and we need all voices to be heard in order to have this statue placed in Washington DC.
Friends and Thomas Paine Enthusiasts,
Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, published in the run-up to the American Revolution, convinced a wavering public to support America’s fight for independence from the British crown.
Thomas Paine’s other great works, including The Crisis, The Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason, became defining texts of the Enlightenment.
Thomas Paine was a hero to many influential Americans, such as Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin. Beyond his contributions to political philosophy and the American Revolution, Thomas Paine also made major contributions to science and technology. He helped to engineer an iron bridge and the steam engine.
It is a historic and symbolic wrong that no statue of Thomas Paine graces our nation’s capital. As one of America’s most significant Founding Fathers and as a visionary and thinker well ahead of his time, Thomas Paine deserves to be honored and remembered in the place that houses our national seat of government — a government he helped forge.
Thomas Paine should be remembered in the nation's capital not only for his seminal contributions to American democracy, but also for his writings that inspired the ideals upon which our nation was founded.
Each year, millions of visitors to Washington, D.C., leave the city without being introduced to this great American thinker and revolutionary. It is time for this long standing, historical oversight to be corrected.
Please contact Margaret Downey, President TPMA at [email protected] to learn how to help with thier mission.
Thank you
