Time: 5:30 pm

Location: 37 Christie Street in the Menlo Park section of Edison.

History: While in Menlo Park, Edison received over 400 patents on

items including the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph

and the electric railroad car. His innovations at the site included wireless transmissions (nearly 20 years before Marconi), the carbon button transmitter (drastic improvements to telegraph and telephone technology), and the discovery of the Edison Effect, the foundation for the field of electronics. Thomas Edison remarked that some of his greatest triumphs were

here.

The Menlo Park Museum contains some of Edison's inventions

and products from the Thomas A. Edison Company including a

recently donated 1929 Edison 'Light-O-Matic' Radio. The

Museum features memorabilia of our community's namesake

and most famous citizen.

Agenda: Jack Stanley will be giving a guided tour of the Museum and Grounds and will answer any questions. The tour will last about an hour. However, the group can stay as long as desired.
