Thomas Edison National Historic Park

Aug. 16, 2024

It is like a museum only located in the original laboratories, buildings and mansion. The science geek in me loved this park for the experiments, inventions and possibilities. You can walk through the main experimental building including machine shops, musical recording studio, photography room, library, private lab and artifacts area. Other buildings are closed but are viewable such as the chemistry lab and blacksmith building. The first movie studio “Black Maria” (movable building with retractable roof) was destroyed but a replica is on site. His estate with huge house, greenhouse and garage (original electric car inside) are part of the park.
