History section

I believe that the history section needs to be expanded to explain why this site became part of the National Park Service when Stone was a relatively minor player in the founding of the United States. It's interesting that this site was chosen when other persons such as Roger Sherman had much larger roles, in fact, he signed all 4 of the great state papers.^[1] It seems like there has to be more to the story - all stone did was sign the Declaration of Independence and the house burned and needed to be restored. Note that only 4,500 people visited this site in 2005. The history as to why this site was created needs to be expanded. Dbroer (talk) 13:35, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
