#284 Statue

I was privileged to attend a special reception at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. We wandered through the Center to our hearts content with plates of chocolate covered strawberries and background (live) music. The room of Constitution signers was most fascinating to me. Each statue was identified with name and state by a plaque on the floor. The room was crowded so I was glad to get these shots with minimum "real" people in them. This is a must-see when you go to Philadelphia.


Benjamin Franklin, of course.
The gold man intently listening to the conversation is a "pretend" statue. You should have seen him downstairs later when he charmed the ladies and boogied with the best of them.
Go here for more information regarding the 42 statues in the room.
