Thomas Edison National Historical Park

A handsome young man, Bryan Ferry vibes!

Orpheus, a poet and musician in mythology (makes me think of the song “Orpheus” by David Sylvian)

Spending part of gorgeous yesterday at Thomas Edison National Historical Park was magical. We’ve been there many times, but you can’t get enough of Thomas Edison. I love the statue of Orpheus holding a record. And the bed Thomas Edison slept in because he spent so many hours at work in his lab. Deaf and self-taught through books and tinkering he had over 1000 patents!

A New Jersey legend of sound and vision.

And I must say, he was handsome as a younger man too — Bryan Ferry vibes! I asked one of the tour guides if Edison still had family that is alive. He does, but they are very low-key about who they are. They did visit the park and one of the kids shouted out, “Tell them who we are!” So cute that they were proud!

I have other cool stories about happenings at the park throughout the years. It’s a very special place in my heart.

I was honored to report on the soft opening of the Black Maria replica back in the summer of 2024.

My husband is a lifetime member of the historical park, so we can go free whenever we want. But they do have times when the park is free to visit. It’s definitely worth it. Everyone who works there is kind and helpful to answer all your questions. There’s plenty of fascinating movie footage about Edison you can view at a theater inside (which is well air conditioned!), clean restrooms, and three floors filled with items to explore. Of course I favor the music room.

The actual bed (not a replica) Thomas Edison slept on in his lab, after working 70 hours or so.

The historical figure I’d love to have dinner with!

He's a # nepobaby of nazi sympathizers and an emerald mine baron who has children with stepsister after being married to her mother and raising her from a child. He's got a fat wallet, and a wise investment manager, NOT a beautiful mind. He's a 21st century nazi #ThomasEdison and a bond villain

The historical legacy of Nikola Tesla has transitioned from a period of relative obscurity following his death in 1943 to a modern state of ubiquitous, if often distorted, cultural veneration.
