“Can you guess what this is?” asked Dr. Franklin.<\/p>\n

He proceeded to draw a cartoon word puzzle, with the skill befitting a Renaissance man of the Colonies.<\/p>\n

And later on today, Dr. Benjamin Franklin may very well create one of those for you, too.<\/p>\n

As the International Printing Museum<\/a> hosts their annual Fourth of July celebration, today, in Carson, you’ll get an opportunity to visit with Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and, of course, Benjamin Franklin.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And this afternoon at 3:00, you’re invited to see them discuss the Declaration of Independence, in\u00a0 the Museum’s annual Independence Day playlet!<\/p>\n

While the first two shows tickets are sold out again this year, seats are still available for the 3 pm\u00a0 performance of “The Confounding Brothers: a Meetin’ of the Minds”.\u00a0 The playlet, written by actor and resident Phil Soinski, takes a factual and fun look at the story of our Declaration of Independence–bringing historic figures to life with imagination and humor.<\/p>\n

“The Confounding Brothers” is suitable for ages 10 and up, but family activities start at the Museum at 10 this morning and continue till 4 pm, as they celebrate Independence Day with a “patriotic party”.\"Intl<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll get a chance to print your own keepsake Declaration of Independence on a working Colonial-era printing press.\u00a0 There will be working tours of the museum’s galleries, and a chance to print your own keepsakes.\u00a0 And the price of admission includes an all-American lunch: Freedom Dogs and American Apple Pie in Madame Brillon’s French Garden de Liberte.\u00a0 If you’re coming to the 3 pm performance of “The Confounding Brothers”, plan on being at the Museum at least by 1:30 (earlier if you’re having lunch) so you can check out the tours and special activities.<\/p>\n

Oh–so what did “Dr. Benjamin Franklin” draw last year, and what’s the answer to the puzzle?<\/p>\n

Well, old Ben himself said, “Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou owest, all thou hast, or all thou canst.”<\/p>\n

In other words–you’re just going to have to ask him.<\/p>\n

The International Printing Museum<\/a>, in Carson, hosts its Independence Day Celebration today, Saturday, July 4, from 10 am to 4 pm.\u00a0\u00a0 Reservations are required for \u201cThe Confounding Brothers\u201d 3 pm show in the Heritage Theater, and tickets<\/a> are available online.\u00a0 The museum is located at 318 West Torrance Boulevard, east of Figueroa, in Carson.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
