Artifact Overview
Thomas Edison's grandparents built and lived in this home on their farm in Vienna, Ontario. As a boy, Edison enjoyed visiting the farm, where he played in the barn, went swimming, and fished in a nearby river. In 1933, Henry Ford moved the historic house to Greenfield Village--his outdoor museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
