Past Event
Join us for an architectural tour of Benjamin Franklin House to reveal the Georgian features of the 1730s building along with its fascinating history encompassing Franklin’s long residence (1757-1775), the Hewson anatomy school, and the comprehensive conservation project that saved the Grade I listed terrace home from dereliction. The tour concludes with a demonstration of a working replica of Franklin’s musical invention, the glass armonica, an instrument for which Mozart, Bach and Beethoven composed.
