The only statement that Franklin did so came 15 years after the fact from Joseph Priestley, a close friend who claimed to be writing down the verbal account of Franklin's. Priestley stated that Ben, when deciding to do the experiment, chose "to take a walk in the fields, in which there was a shed convenient for his purpose." This could have been just about anywhere in the Philadelphia area.
