Philadelphia-Franklin Court
A very enthusiastic Benjamin Franklin *fan* and his nurse after surgery. Hard to believe he was wanting to see Ben Franklin's house so soon afterward!
Ben Franklin Court from across the street.
I thought this was so neat! A replica of an instrument made by Franklin called an Armonica. If you click on the images, you should be able to view them full-size.
Entrance to Franklin's print shop. He started his print shop at the age of 22.
I liked the quotes they had hanging on the wall--click the picture to view full-size
The Entrance to the court.
Front - each side of the entrance
The site of Ben Franklin's house-- marked with the house outlines.

My boys had to have a picture of Franklin's "privy" pit. Why these things excite little boys, I will never know.
