Franklin's former residence is the Philadelphia business card, where you will see a very strange building, a white steel frame, outline the outline of a house, it is Franklin's home site. Because of a fire in the 19th century, the house was destroyed, and people built this building to keep it in its original state, telling everyone that it was Franklin's former residence. There is also an underground museum in the courtyard, which displays some of Franklin's life documents and his inventions (the lightning rod was his hand). Franklin is the greatest American merit, but he disdains fame, and donates most of his property before death, although he invented countless but all publicly never applied for patents, Franklin is worthy of being the greatest American! Very positive energy, very educational, especially for teenagers, I must buy a Franklin biography to take a serious look, young people should study well. In addition, the form of the former residence is also very special and refreshing. Some former residences in China should also learn this form. It is worth visiting and learning.
A famous thinker, politician, inventor who changed American history. Worth visiting
