As part of the Museums at Night programme where lots of museums around the country are opening late into the evening from the 14th-16th May, we will be visiting Benjamin Franklin House.

We are visiting the house on Saturday 15th May, meeting at 6:45pm.

The story of Benjamin Franklin's time living at the house is played out through audiovisual presentation and live interpretation. Tour of the house lasts about 1 hour.

About Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts to an American mother, Abiah Folger and a British father, Josiah. Considered the father of electricity, through his inventions, writings, and extensive activities as a printer, philosopher and more, Franklin helped advance the Age of Enlightenment.

As a key founder of the United States, he is the only statesman to have signed all four documents that created a new nation: The Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Alliance with France (1778), the Treaty of Paris establishing peace with Britain (1783) and The Constitution (1787).

His house at 36 Craven Street (near Trafalgar Square) where he lived for 16 years is the only remaining house in the world of Benjamin Franklin. The house was built in 1730.

We are meeting up at Embankment Tube Station, inside the station, near the ticket barriers.
Entry to the house is £7 each. Members will receive a discount of 30% on entry by showing their 'London Culture Card'. To become a member and purchase a 'Culture Card', please click here... alternatively you can pay by cash at your next meetup.
