The Almanac pages referred to stolen copies of Poor Richard's Almanack by Benjamin Franklin. These editions secretly contained crafting recipes for inventions by Franklin and other scientists of the day.

History

In 1754, while staying in Boston, Franklin's copies were stolen. Haytham Kenway and Charles Lee noticed his distress, and Franklin informed them of what happened, adding if they could find the missing pages in their sparetime, he would reward them.

During the American Revolutionary War, Haytham's son Ratonhnhaké:ton located the stolen pages in Boston and New York and used the crafting recipes to build a scientific display in the Davenport Homestead. These included:

• Franklin's Busybody
• The Franklin stove
• Franklin's Glass harmonica
• Franklin's kite and key
• The Electrostatic generator
• A Leyden jar
• Joseph Priestley's soda apparatus
• An orrery
• The Watt steam engine
