Laboratory of Thomas Alva Edison

A current major project of the Fund is to restore and preserve the Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, New Jersey. The site contains the world's first corporate research and development laboratory as well as Edison's family home, "Glenmont". They appear on the National Trust For Historic Preservation list as an endangered historic place in the country.

 

At present, national concern is so great to preserve this original, untouched laboratory for the purpose of furthering the interests of the Edison Legacy.
