Patriot Echoes – Honoring 250 years of patriot principles.
- March 6, 1809, 217 years ago — Death of Thomas Heyward Jr..
- March 6, 1724, 302 years ago — Birth of Henry Laurens, President of the Continental Congress.
- March 7, 1707, 319 years ago — Birth of Stephen Hopkins, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

The Founders of the American republic were more than signers and statesmen—they were farmers, printers, philosophers, and mothers. Each brought conviction, sacrifice, and vision to a fragile experiment in liberty.
This page is a curated gallery of those lives: their portraits, their principles, and their place in history. Here, we preserve not just their names, but their character—their letters, their laws, their long-forgotten words.
To study the Founders is to understand the architecture of freedom. To remember them is to renew it.
