A Life Worth Celebrating!

Thomas Paine was a man with nine lives and then some! He was a great humanitarian, a supreme statesman, and a bold visionary. He was also a staymaker, privateer, excise collector, magazine editor, pamphleteer, inventor, war correspondent, and poet.

Paine was a man who belonged to three different worlds—England, the newborn United States, and revolutionary France—a man who went from being showered with praise to being reviled for his brave beliefs in what freedom and equality truly meant.

Today, more than ever—in the times that try all our souls—his works must be shared widely so that all can learn from them and be inspired by his brilliance and vision. We invite you to explore this site and consider joining us as a TPHA member.
