Edison Illuminating Company in Greenfield Village
Henry Ford’s version of the Edison Illuminating Company’s Station A in Greenfield Village was quite different from the original installation, where he’d worked in Detroit in the 1890s. Dedicated in 1944, it was reduced in scale and scope, included equipment from the Willis Street substation, and included one of the most important Edison artifacts—the only surviving Jumbo dynamo from New York City’s Pearl Street Station.
