National memorial inside kid-friendly Science Museum.
Larger than life–like Franklin himself–this 20 foot marble memorial sits within the Franklin Institute, a kid-friendly science museum that also houses fascinating objects like his ceremonial sword, lighting rod, and the odometer he used when measuring postal routes. Disclaimer: Benjamin Franklin WAS NOT actually 20 feet tall.
