Mount Vernon, VA….George Washington, February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799.

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
George Washington

George Washington had pretty strong ideas on the value of free speech.  In fact his quote pretty much says it all.  “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
George Washington

This sign is the first in Hewn’s “Founding Fathers” series of quote signs featuring some of the best quotes on Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of happiness we have enjoyed for the last 248 years.

These will be perfect for the wall of an office or study to give it not only a “Bit of Wisdom” from the past but rustic early Americana as well.

Each sign is engraved on a live edged piece of aged wood.  Each sign has patina and character from the uniqueness of each piece of wood.   The darkness and texture of the engraving will vary slightly from sign to sign ensuring that each sign is uniquely yours.

Each sign is finished with a light linseed oil coating and a sisal twine attached to the back suitable for hanging.

Signs vary slightly in size and thickness as well.  The standard size is 11 to 12 inches wide by 8 to 10 inches high.

This handcrafted product is priceless but you can have yours for only $29.99.

They can be picked up at the Hewn Mountain Farmstand for free or shipped anywhere for a $10 flat shipping price.
