Benjamin Franklin’s Tomb

The tomb of Benjamin Franklin can be easily found in the little Christ Church Burial Ground of Philadelphia (Arch Street between 4th & 5th).

Near the tomb, you can easily see a bronze memorial tablet with the genial epitaph that young Franklin – who was already a book-lover – wrote, as a joke, for himself at that time.
