RE: Gravesite inspiration welcome
Excellent post. And speaking of Franklin, many people mistakenly think that the big Franklin grave at Boston Old Granary Burial Ground downtown is Benjamin's grave. But it is that of his parents. Benjamin was born at nearby 3 Milk St, Boston, but as you said, is buried in Philadelphia.
I too am more affected by visiting the homes etc than the graves. For instance, George Berkeley, Ireland's most brilliant philosopher, had a home in the countryside near Middletown, Rhode Island, 1729. My wife and I visited there in 2016. Open for tours in summer, a different visiting philosophy professor in residence there each year for 2 or 3 weeks.
