I grew up on this musuem. First time I came here i loved it and from then on it stuck out in my memory. Been coming here as often as I can, when I want to get inspired to "invent" stuff of my own. Awesome and knowledgeable staff. Its a must go to place when in Jersey.

Really excellent tour of the Estate. It's amazing to hear all of the lesser known facts regarding his family. The tour is guided by a volunteer who had a pretty good knowledge of the facility, though he was a bit curt when it came to answering questions. It was also really nice that the house is decorated for the season. It will be interesting to see if the decorations are different in the spring. If enough people are going, purchase the pass which allows 1 member and 3 guests and is good for the estate and the factory. I can't wait to see the factory next weekend.

A great National Historic Park that gives you a real sense of how much of Edison's R&D was done in the late 19th/early 20th century period. The buildings that remain were the R&D facilities and we're in possession by Edison's family after his death until they were given to the Park Service in the 1950s. The third floor music room was the country's first recording studio, the black Maria (although a replica of the original) was one of the first movie studios. But don't miss the chemistry lab either. The Junior Ranger program is well organized and can be done in about an hour and a half. Maybe a little less with parental help.

This site pays tribute to the legendary inventor Thomas Edison including his chem labs, drafting areas, and a remarkable remake of the first movie theater the Black Maria. His jacket is hung up among original batteries he created. They give a talk about the light bulb and system he originated. Head down the road and hang a right into his house to see the original digs of Thomas and his wife Mina. His car collection is on display which is amazing as well as the plant nursery from his wife.

Very interesting original artifacts and NPS lectures. Be sure to plan your visit ahead as some areas are only accessible during the NPS exhibits which happen as infrequently as once a day. The chemistry lab was a particular delight.
