Thomas Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory Compound, 1879-1880, with Added Illustrations
01
Artifact Overview
When Edison moved to Menlo Park, New Jersey, in spring of 1876 the laboratory building 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. This illustration depicts Menlo Park in winter 1879, when Edison first demonstrated his experimental lighting system.
