Filming a Laser Show at Menlo Park Laboratory in Greenfield Village for ABC-TV's World of Discovery, May 25, 1989

01

Artifact Overview

In May 1989, ABC television crews filmed segments of World of Discovery - Inventors: Out of their Minds at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. The show linked the experiences of late 20th-century inventors with Thomas Edison's innovative work to produce the incandescent lamp. A laser light demonstration at the Village's reconstructed Menlo Park Laboratory -- with one of the inventors playing Edison -- became the program's finale.
