Patrick Garner's History's Alive returns Friday, March 3 at 10 AM with two great shows! Thomas Edison Inventor, Lecturer & Prankster and Benjamin Franklin, America's First Citizen. First, Mr. Edison delivers an informal, fun-filled lecture about his life, his inventions and the lessons those inventions taught him.
