There is a church in downtown Philly with a plaque marking the place BF flew his famous kite experiment. His discovery that lightning was electricity not only advanced the Enlightenment view of nature as knowable but also made Franklin world-famous, which helped encourage the French to assist in defeating the Brits at Yorktown. Thanks, Ben!
