Known to history as the "Penman of the Revolution," John Dickinson was one of America’s most essential Founding Fathers, drafting influential texts such as the Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania and the original Articles of Confederation. His childhood home and country estate—the John Dickinson Plantation (Poplar Hall) in Dover, Delaware—serves as a vital historic site. It preserves not only the political legacy of a revolutionary statesman and Constitutional Convention delegate, but also the complex human story of the free, indentured, and enslaved people whose labor sustained the land.
