A Visit to the Thomas Edison Museum

We had a wonderful visit at the Thomas Edison winter estate which is located in Fort Myers. Thomas Edison had a close friendship with Henry Ford — and they had adjoining compounds in Fort Myers. So, there was lots of information about Henry Ford at the museum as well including all the ways these two amazing men were connected over the years.
While I had primarily thought of Thomas Edison and the invention of the electric light bulb, we learned that he was an incredible inventor who held 1093 patents! His inventions included the phonograph and the movie projector — the museum was great and well worth a visit.
More of Edison's inventions.
