HistoryPlan Your Family Road Trip to Edison for History Innovation and Education This Spring

Edison is an area rich in history with evidence of inhabitants in prehistoric times. Archeologists discovered artifacts indicating occupants living in Edison during the Stone Age. There is also evidence of Native Americans with arrowheads and cooking implement artifacts. This area was settled in the late 1600s and was visited by President George Washington during his inauguration in April 1789.

Innovation

Edison became an easy access point to larger cities by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the mid-1850s, spawning invention and innovation. Thomas Edison, our namesake, erected his industrial research laboratory in 1876 and went on to invent some of the world’s most fundamental inventions including the phonograph, incandescent lamp, and the electric railway. In total, Thomas Edison’s inventions resulted in over 400 patents influencing the way we live today.
