Address

The Thomas Paine National Historical Association

Days And Hours

We are planning for regular hours in the Fall for opening the building. Ongoing events will be publicized as well. If you plan on coming to our building for a tour of the exhibit, contact us at tpnhamail@gmail.com and provide dates and times.

This site provides the most important articles on Paine, the known and some soon-to-be-known new works, and the deattributions we have made. We were founded to correct the record on Paine, and rescue it from the negative propaganda and slander perpetrated against him by most historians in the 19th century. For the most part we have succeeded. Now we are on the threshold of making public our findings on Paine's complete works, after twenty years of research, and the establishment of the first official Editorial Board for the Collected Works of Thomas Paine, staffed by the leading Paine scholars in the world.

The Sherman Copy of the Declaration of Independence
