DESK

Again, last year, while down at the Independence Park in Philadelphia, PA where allot of the History of our Country started, I went into one of the Museums that are available to walk around in and see for yourself actual Historical exhibits.

Above, you are looking at the real Mahogany Desk, that Ben Franklin actually used in his time.  Photographed behind the protective acrylic that surrounded this desk, it must be worth a fortune!  I don’t even think that a value could be put on this! This desk was taken from his residence when he lived in Philadelphia back in the 1700’s.  It’s almost hard to believe that this has survived more than 300 yrs.  Good ole’ Ben actually sat at this desk and wrote History.  It’s the same as the original Liberty Bell, which hangs in the Liberty Center for all to see.

I am 75 yrs. young and now retired. I worked in the Machinist Trade for 24 yrs. Served in the US Navy with a Tour of Duty in Vietnam. Being retired I do enjoy Photography with my Nikon and Pentax Camera's, snooping around in Historic and Abandoned places, using my Scroll Saw, Reading, Travel, riding a bicycle on the many Trails that are around my area, and what-ever else will interest me at the time. Come with me and see where I go, where I have been, and my Life surviving Retirement.
