This is the home of
George Mason, father of the Virginia Declaration of Rights--some of these words were used in the Declaration of Independence, and as the basis for the Bill of Rights. Mason was one of three men who helped develop the United States Constitution but refused to sign it because it did not contain anything about rights of citizens.
