Water Street in Peekskill, NY Come Meet Benjamin Franklin for a little Wit… Wisdom… and Revolution! Join us as Historical Interpreter Jack Sherry brings Benjamin Franklin to life at The Lincoln Depot Museum. Enjoy Dr. Franklin’s sharp wit and renowned humor as he shares his reminiscences about his service in the Continental Congress and his relationship with fellow founding fathers, his diplomatic work in France, his family back here at home, his redesign of the postal service, the founding of a library and a fire department, and that unusual kite-business. The things he said, wrote and invented have filled volumes. Let’s see what he’ll share with us! “Hide not your Talents, they for Use were made. What’s a Sun-Dial in the shade!” - Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard’s Almanack, 1750
