The plaque says, "This historic site was the seat of Virginia's Colonial Government for 75 years. Here in May, 1765, Patrick Henry denounced the Stamp Act and on May 15, 1776, a Virginia Convention unanimously proposed that the Continental Congress "declare the United Colonies free and independent states." On Jun 12, 1776, a Virginia Convention approved George Mason's Declaration of Rights and on Jun 29 adopted the first constitution for the new Commonwealth of Virginia."
