Teachers from across the United State will have the chance to walk in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin this summer as part of a major National Endowment for the Humanities initiative. The $175,000 Landmarks of American History grant will bring eighty teachers to historic Philadelphia for a week.
Penn State Harrisburg will sponsor "A Rising People: Benjamin Franklin and the Americans," to be held June 28-July 4 and July 5-10. Teachers will study with major scholars of early America, visit sites that Franklin knew, peruse documents in Franklin's own hand, and experience the host of historic opportunities Philadelphia has to offer in the weeks surrounding Independence Day.
