Menlo Park Laboratory in Greenfield Village, June 24, 2010
Add to SetSummary
When Edison moved to Menlo Park, New Jersey, in spring of 1876 the laboratory building (pictured here) contained his entire operation -- a handful of collaborators, office, library, and machine shop as well as laboratory. As the scale of Edison's investigations grew so did the complex, but this building -- dedicated to experimental activities -- was always understood to be the heart of the enterprise.
