Ben Franklin had gout, a painful leg condition, so he used this chaise and hired others to carry him place to place
Inside Franklins Printing office, a demonstration
A blank piece of paper on top, the typeset on bottom full of ink. Close the top piece and press together for a newspaper

Backyard court of Franklin's courtyard
Back yard of Franklin's court
Franklin's property
Franklin's tunnel
Franklin provided much needed fire insurance to Philadelphia and they formed this office
The Benevolent Franklin is always looking to help others
The American Philosophical Society, a Franklin idea. He wanted to provide a place where average Americans, carpenters, cordwainers, dock workers, bakers, could come and discuss philosophy or science.
Today the American Philosophical Society is a library and this is an original map during the Jefferson administration
A handwritten copy of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence
Origianal copies of Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Franklin loved to think and discuss, so he provided a place for folks to come and do just that.
