"During this one-week workshop . . . [participants will] walk the streets that Franklin walked, step through the doorways that he knew, and see the buildings where he helped found the United States. We'll explore the many rooms of Benjamin Franklin's mind: writer, civic leader, politician, diplomat, scientist, and revolutionary were just some of the titles that Franklin assumed during his eighty-four years. We'll read Franklin's words—published and personal—and those of men and women who lived in the era."
