Located in a very unassuming neighborhood. You would never know it was there if not for Google maps. Very cool to imagine that the lightbulb was conceived in the lab that once stood here.
This is a cute museum with absolutely awesome curators that gave us an amazing tour with a lot of interesting information and facts about Thomas Edison and his inventions. Absolutely worth visiting!!!
Small museum focusing on Edison’s time in Menlo Park and the inventions developed there. (Phonograph, incandescent light bulb and telephone transmitter) The tower is situated where his desk was, no historic buildings remain. Very informative but you also need to visit his home in West Orange for later works. The laboratory is preserved at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI for the workshop. The park nearby was very shady and was a nice cool short walk on a summer day.
One of the best experiences! 5/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved the Thomas Edison Museum and Park. It’s calm, peaceful, and filled with fascinating information for all ages. A perfect spot for families and history lovers alike. Please don’t miss the museum—it's a must-visit! Highly recommend
Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park provides a nice overview of the life and accomplishments of Thomas Alva Edison. Best visited with the live tour, highlights are provided along with interpretation and demonstration of some of the early inventions. This museum is on the site of his early workshops and dirty streetlight electrification. Nature trails behind the museum if you want to further explore.
