Applying a fresh American concept, the McDonald brothers, Richard and Maurice, furthered the fast food idea in their small chain of restaurants in San Bernardino during the early 1940s. The original mascot, a man with a hamburger shaped head and topped with a chef's hat, announced their idea of the Speedee Service System. Pedaling milkshake machines, then salesman Ray Kroc happened to find the golden arches and the McDonald brothers in San Bernardino, California. It didn't take long before Kroc returned to Des Plaines to set up his first franchised McDonalds restaurant.
Although the original Des Plaines restaurant is gone, this replica museum was built to the old blueprints. The McDonald's Museum featured a familiar red and white tiled exterior and an original shaped pair of golden arches. Sad to say that this McDonald's Museum has also been razed by the wrecking ball.
Born in western Pennsylvania, Ben quickly discovered that his parents were passionate about travel, photography, oil painting and wildlife. Being the youngest member of his family, he grew up exploring much of the eastern half of the United States at an early age with his older brothers. Ben's photography is about that part of his youth, echoing that same passion that his parents had of the Great Outdoors. Visit
