It's the late 1700's, and Benjamin Franklin decides to try a little experiment. He captures his electrical essence in a Leyden Jar (cutting edge technology at the time) and buries the jar in the foothills around colonial Boston. Fast forward to 2018, and Benjamin Franklin springs back to life in energy form, right in front of his statue at Boston's Old City hall!
Enjoy this short 360 video about Benjamin looking for his old friend Paul Revere's silversmith shop on Old Dock Square, which is now occupied by the Dreamland Wax Museum. We hope you enjoy this short, fun fictitious story, and that it inspires you to learn more about Boston's rich history.

Paul Revere's Gravesite and Gravestone Burial in Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street Boston MA
Paul Revere Gravesite and Gravestone Burial in the Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street Boston Massachusetts MA - - The following Wikipedia articles cover details about Paul Revere's Gravesite and this famous Amercan patriot -- Founded in 1660, the Granary Burying Ground in Massachusetts is the city of Boston's third-oldest cemetery. Located on Tremont Street, it is the final resting place for many notable Revolutionary War-era patriots, including three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Paul Revere and the five victims of the Boston Massacre. The cemetery has 2,345 graves, but historians estimate as many as 5,000 people are buried in it. The cemetery is adjacent to Park Street Church and immediately across from Suffolk University Law School...Paul Revere (December 21, 1734 -- May 10, 1818) was an American silversmith, early industrialist, and a patriot in the American Revolution. He is most famous for alerting Colonial militia of approaching British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, as dramatized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride. Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as a Massachusetts militia officer, though his service culminated after the Penobscot Expedition, one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, for which he was absolved of blame. Following the war, Revere returned to his silversmith trade and used the profits from his expanding business to finance his work in iron casting, bronze bell and cannon casting, and the forging of copper bolts and spikes. Finally in 1800 he became the first American to successfully roll copper into sheets for use as sheathing on naval vessels. Links to the relevant articles are on and
