A Benjamin Franklin Tour of Boston July 5, 2009

Boston By Foot Harborfest. Join us on a trip back to Colonial Boston on this guided walking tour to celebrate the life of Benjamin Franklin during Boston's Harborfest.

A signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, Franklin's colorful life and contributions as an author, entrepreneur, inventor, scientist, statesman and diplomat earned him the status as one of the most influential and recognizable of the Founding Fathers on both sides of the Atlantic.

What is less well known is that this remarkable life began as the 15th child of a tallow chandler in the Puritan town of Boston. Before his kite-flying days, young Franklin lived a humble Puritan life as a voracious reader, resourceful inventor, a printer's apprentice and with a sense of humor.
