A Queen Anne era house in the village of Twyford, a short distance from Winchester, now a B&B (and a good one, too),

We were told it was at one time the home of Benjamin Franklin, where he began writing his autobiography.

It was such a nice day and we wanted to try getting to Philadelphia via Amtrak train from Lancaster. The train took us to the 30th Street Station and we took the SEPTA subway from there.

 

The Christ Church Burial Grounds were located right next door to the US Mint so we just had to go for a stroll. Several signers of the Constitution are burried there most notably Benjamin Franklin.

The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.

 

The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.

 

The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.

 

Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

Since its usually rare for me to have $200 cash at hand, and especially when the two bills are so different (Series 1990 versus Series 2001), that I just had to compare them and take a photo (though the 2006 series is even farther different since Franklin is removed from the portrait). I do not intend on replicating any money, so I made sure to place a pen in front or my finger, and of course the creases are still there.
