Complete information about visiting Thomas Edison National Historical Park is now on National Park Planner!
The Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, New Jersey, preserves Thomas Edison’s research laboratory complex, which was built in 1887, and his home in the historic Llewellyn Park subdivision. Visitors are welcome to tour the massive museum in the Main Laboratory Building on their own, and join a park Ranger for a tour of the Chemistry Laboratory and Edison’s mansion, Glenmont. The interiors of the Chemical Storage and Pattern Stamp building and the Blacksmith Shop can be viewed from the doorways. Rangers also give a short lecture on the Black Maria, Edison’s rotating movie studio.
