In this house the Committee of Harford County held its meetings before and during the early years of the Revolution. Here, at a meeting held on the 22nd day of March 1775, the following members of the Committee passed and signed a formal Declaration pledging their lives and fortunes to the cause, which, a year later, resulted in the Declaration of Independence.
