Franklin's Philadelphia
 
After moving to Philadelphia at a young age, Franklin quickly fell in love with the city and always considered it his home even when he was traveling throughout the world.

His influence can be seen all over the city from the site of his home, Franklin Court, and work, Franklin's Print Shop, to the country's first hospital, Pennsylvania Hospital, and first university, theUniversity of Pennsylvania, both of which he founded.
