STOP 05: Liberty Point

Near this site in June 1775, a group of fifty-five patriots signed a document of freedom known as the “Liberty Point Resolves,” one year before the Declaration of Independence was signed. A granite marker commemorates their pledge to the cause of Independence and lists 55 signers’ names. Liberty Point is not only a locally cherished historical area, but also a vestige of early street patterns with its notable triangular plot.
