"We now face the danger, which in the past has been the most destructive to the humans: Success, plenty, comfort and ever-increasing leisure. No dynamic people has ever survived these dangers."
The American Adventure has vastly remained untouched or modified in any great form, and for good reason. It's original message and presentation couldn't be more true or relevant.
Erected in 1856, this 8-foot tall bronze likeness of Benjamin Franklin by Richard S. Greenough is boston's first public portrait statue. Located in front of Boston's Old City Hall, an ornate 1862 French Second Empire style structure (appropriately so since Franklin was this country's first ambassador to France), and in front of City Carpet, a hopscotch-like mosaic that marks the original site of Boston Latin School, which Franklin attended before dropping out.
Pano of St Goustan, near Auray in Bretagne. This is the quay where Ben. Franklin landed when he visited France became the first American ambassador to France. Taken from the ramparts of Auray, another interesting an picturesque town.

A tribute to his work as a printer. I forgot to take a picture of the description that went with it.
This was across the street from City Hall, I believe.
Walking around Glendale on the 4th, I decided to check out the bronze Ben Franklin figure. It was starting to get dark out, so that's why the lights in the background look hotter than normal.
The house where the Declaration of Independence was drafted. Called the "Declaration House," it is a little off the beaten path (at Seventh and Market Streets) and many tourists miss it. The home's offical name is the Graff House, as it was built by Jacob Graff, Jr. in 1775. Thomas Jefferson rented rooms on the second floor in 1776 and drafted the Declaration there.
This was the view from our hotel room which is directly behind the Christ Church Burial Ground, Philadelphia, PA. I wish we could have walked around the cemetery but time didn't permit. Among other signers of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin is buried here as well.

Franklin Court was the site of the handsome brick home of Benjamin Franklin, who lived here while serving in the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention. Franklin died here in 1790; the house was torn down about 20 years later. Today the site contains a steel "ghost structure" outlining the spot where Franklin's house stood and features an underground museum with a film and displays, an 18th century printing office, an architectural/archeological exhibit, an operating post office and a postal museum.
