Benjamin Franklin Museum

Enter the Benjamin Franklin Museum, and suddenly the 18th century comes alive. From lightning rods to bifocals, every exhibit tells the tale of a man who was equal parts genius, inventor, and showman. Don’t miss the interactive thunderstorm simulation—when the lights flicker and the crackling sound fills the room, you’ll understand why Franklin once said, ‘I am not a man of science, but I love to play with it.’ Science has never been this thrilling.
