Benjamin Franklin's Ghost House

The house that Benjamin Franklin lived in was torn down in the 1800's. How could the country he helped found honor him? Rather than build a replica of his house, a "ghost house" outlining how his home had looked was built.

The ghost house allows visitors to visualize the structure themselves instead of seeing it through someone else's eyes.

On this day in 1821, Spain sold eastern Florida to the United States for $5 Million, over $100,000,000 in today's money. It is still uncertain as to who got the best part of the deal.

1915 World's Fair

On this day in 1915, the 1915 World's Fair opened up in San Francisco. The fair was beneficial to the earthquake ravaged city, though it wasn't completely beloved by many residents. A faction of San Franciscans had wanted to take advantage of the earthquake damage by reimagining the city and incorporating a more planned design. 

After the city was awarded the World's Fair, however, the city scrapped any highminded planning efforts. The powers that were wanted to show that the city had fully recovered from its devastating disaster. The only way to do that was to approve any and all buildings with no long term planning. Despite this, however, The 1915 World's Fair was a huge success.
