Ben Franklin contributed greatly in science, government, printing and many other areas and did most of this becoming a millionaire in Philadelphia. He did diplomatic greatness and some science breakthroughs in France while ambassador for the continental congress. He is also the only signer of the three most important documents in US history: declaration of independence, Constitution, treaty of Paris which ended the revolutionary war officially and recognized for the first time a United States of America.

London !
36 Craven Street to be precise. Check out the attached link which explains how Franklin was living in London as a diplomat for the US where he carried out many of his scientific experiments.
OK...........so I fibbed a bit. Most of the work he did in the USA would have been carried out while he was postmaster of Philadelphia. Certainly his celebrated experiment with the kite in an electrical storm was performed in 1752 while he was in Philly.
