Ben’s Birthday and the House’s Anniversary Bash!
You’d have the Custom broke, you say,
That marks with festive Mirth your natal Day;
“Because as one grows old,
One cares not to be told,
How many of one’s Years have pass’d away.” – 1767
Celebrate Ben’s 317th birthday and the House’s 17th anniversary of being open to the public:
- An after-hours tour of the Home Benjamin Franklin knew and loved
- Hear fun facts about 18th century birthday celebrations
- Learn how to play Happy Birthday on his Glass Armorica
- A slice (or two) of birthday cake in his parlour
Party hats strongly encouraged!
Tour starts at 5pm. Limited capacity with timed entry. A toast to the man will follow the tour!
