What an amazing trip to Yeoman's Book Gallery! We had such a wonderful experience as a class, looking at so many rare and historical documents! It was so interesting learning about how there could be treasures in your own attic or neighborhood yard sale! There is just so much history surrounding us that we may not even realize it...
They have over 50,000 rare books, documents, maps, and many others dating throughout American History! Our class was also featured as a blog on their website:

It was so neat to see a group of us getting together to understand how much books and the appreciation for them are taken for granted everyday! What a rare opportunity to hear Mike Cotter (Owner) speak and tell a little bit about what he does to inquire so many rare documents...what a treat!
This is me to the above right! Benjamin Franklin's work and documents are also featured in this priceless gallery! It's quite phenomenal how much our ancestors went through and stood up for during their time here on Earth...really breath taking actually. I would recommend a visit for anyone with a desire to learn about history or who wants to pick up an old timepiece!
