Fragments of Franklin Court

This somewhat eerie memorial marks the location of the home of Benjamin Franklin, which was torn down by his grandchildren. Adjacent to the memorial is a replica late 18th century print shop run by the National Park Service. The Benjamin Franklin Museum is also next to this site.

This is a really cool area, free to visit, right outside of the Ben Franklin Museum. Franklin's original house sat on this site but was torn down, so they've erected beams outlining his former space. A visit to the museum is a great experience as well. It's only $5 dollars to enter.

Didn't go inside the museum, but you're able to see Benjamin Franklin's house frame work that lets you see its size. There's a lot of info in the quad area about him and the house, and you’re able to use the museums bathroom and go into the shop without a museum ticket. It's worth the visit and close to other sites to visit.

This is a fun free activity for tourists staffed by the National Parks Service. The staff puts on a great demonstration, in fun costumes, with an old-fashioned printing press. Overall, I highly recommend it for any tourists in Philadelphia.

“all information about city at one place” - stop by... get refreshed... they have reception where you can all information about city/tours/guides/hotels. you can buy the tickets, book hotels, rent a bike. They have a gift shop and they keep some really fascinating item and yes, they have rocky balboa. ;)

This was a bit anticlimactic. Not really much to see and no explanations of some things. I really wouldn't go out of my way to see this like we did in the heat walking there. Waste of time to be honest.

The Fragments of Franklin Court is a wonderful historic site of one of the most important people in United States history. There is a white frame built where the structure of the house used to lie along with windows into the ground showing the original foundations and underneath of Benjamin Franklin’s house. Entry is free and worth a visit if you are in the area.

Really cool place to see a variety of sites pertaining to Benjamin Franklin. Be sure to plan on spending some time here, there’s a lot to do!
