Visit Thomas Edison National Historical Park, New Jersey
Thomas Edison National Historical Park preserves Thomas Edison's laboratory and residence, Glenmont, in Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey. For more than forty years, the laboratory had a major impact on the lives of people worldwide. Out of the West Orange laboratories came the motion picture camera, improved phonographs, sound recordings, silent and sound movies and the nickel-iron alkaline electric storage battery.
Thomas Edison purchased this grand estate for his new bride, Mina Miller Edison, in 1886. It is here that the Edisons raised their children and entertained friends, family, and Edison business associates.
The Laboratory Complex has 20,000 square feet of exhibit space, including two floors of the main laboratory building which were previously closed to the public. Ranger-led programs run at the Laboratory Complex daily. Look for posted times in the visitor center. These programs include a phonograph demonstration, a tour of the chemistry building, and a talk and closer look at the Black Maria.
