Dickinson's legacy of death

Dickinson was re-elected to the State Senate for the 1793 session, although he only remained there for a year before quitting due to his deteriorating health. Though he never served as President of the United States of America, John Dickinson was one of the country's founding fathers. He passed away in 1808 at the age of 75. Dickinson was interred in the Friends Burial Ground after passing away in Wilmington, Delaware.

In an actual letter written by Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Bringhurst, who looked for Dickinson in his last years. Jefferson reacts to the news of Dickinson's passing "No better patriot or more deserving man could have left us. He was one of the early defenders of his nation's liberties when it came under attack from Great Britain, and he remained a devout supporter of the real ideas of our new government to the very end. His name will go down in history as one of the great revolutionaries."

College and Dickinson School of Law (now a part of Pennsylvania State University) both have campuses in Carlisle, Pennsylvania named after him. Besides, his name is commemorated by Dickinson Street in Madison, Wisconsin, John Dickinson High School in Milltown, Delaware, and Dickinson Hall at the University of Wisconsin.
