It is very interesting to visit the workshop and home/estate of Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, among other things.
A beautiful garden and very well preserved typical southern houses with lovely porches. Next door, the house of Henry Ford, Edison's friend.
Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Edison Ford Winter Estates. The exhibition and the laboratories offer a wonderful insight into the life and work of the two extraordinary people Edison and Ford. The audio tour is also available in German.

In 1988, the adjacent Henry Ford Winter Estate was purchased and opened in 1990 for public viewing. In 2003, the management of the site was transferred from the city to a new charitable company, Thomas Edison & Henry Ford Winter Estates, Inc. (dba Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Inc.). The new company has successfully completed a $ 14 million restoration project in the following years.
