Benjamin Franklin

  

Beginning March 1st at the Interurban Railway Museum, the Plano Conservancy for Historic Preservation will present “Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World,” an exhibition produced by The Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary, Philadelphia, and the American Library Association, presented in partnership with Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. 


“Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World” looks at the remarkable life and achievements of one of America’s most beloved personalities. Besides serving his country as a skillful diplomat and negotiator, Benjamin Franklin was a scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, humorist and philanthropist whose wisdom and wit continue to inspire and entertain us more than three hundred years after his birth. Franklin was dedicated to making the world a better place and himself a better person. His was the quintessential American success story. 


The exhibition will be available to the public from March 1st to May 24.
