More than any other inventor in history, Thomas Edison is responsible for the technologies that make modern life modern. By the time of his death in 1931, he held 1,093 patents covering the creation or refinements of devices in telegraphy and telephony, electric power generation and lighting, sound recording, motion pictures, storage batteries, and mining and cement technology. However, his most important invention was one that couldn't be patented: the process of modern invention itself. By applying the principles of mass production to the 19th-century model of the solitary inventor, Edison created a process in which skilled scientists, machinists, designers, and others collaborated at a single facility to research, develop, and manufacture new technologies.
Edison Tower Edison NJ
This monument, a gift from the State of New Jersey to honor Thomas Alva Edison, was formally dedicated on May 16, 1925, by John Leib, vice president of the New York Edison Company. The second iconic Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Tower,built and dedicated to Thomas Edison was in 1937. Topped by an enormous light bulb, the Art Deco Tower has quite literally been a beacon for the community for decades, and every year on the Sunday afternoon before Edison's birthday, on February 11, members of Menlo Park's volunteer fire department lay a wreath at its base.

Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory
Video clips from my visit to Edison's Menlo Park laboratory, which is now located in Dearborn MI at the Greenfield Village. This is a good example of an early tech startup.
Also on this visit a late 19th century machine shop, showing how early prototypes were made.
Finally, a visit to a roundhouse, which is where steam trains were repaired. One locomotive was setup so that you can walk under it.
Sorry for the poor video quality, only had my camera phone on this museum visit.

It’s all about water in Michigan…a large and magnificent state that is bordered on multiple sides by three Great Lakes – Michigan, Superior and Huron. Outdoor recreation takes place on snow and ice in the winter, and on the water in the summer. Detroit, aka the “motor city” is famous as the birthplace of the automobile. The MotorCities Automobile Heritage Area contains a number of historical sites and museums dedicating to preserving the region’s importance as the historical center of the automobile industry. The Detroit Institute of Art is home to the Detroit Industry Murals, created by Diego Rivera in 1933. These murals capture the essence of the early automobile industry with remarkable clarity and passion. The Henry Ford is a combination of venues including historic Greenfield Village and Thomas Edison’s original Menlo Park laboratory. On exhibition, one of the phonographs used to make the recording of the human voice. The road to Hell, Michigan is paved with good intentions. The residents of this small town exhibit a great sense of humor about their town’s name and welcome all persons on their journey through Hell. Travelers can visit Scream’s Ice Cream, shop in a year round Halloween store or go to the post office and mail their “taxes from Hell”. For more than 100 years Lionel trains have been delighting kids of all ages. The new visitor’s center displays four different model train layouts with as many as 20 trains running at once. It’s a place where anyone can be a train engineer for a day and learn about the different model trains produced by the company. Cherries are an important crop raised in Northern Michigan and the annual Cherry Festival in Traverse City is a great place to spend the fourth of July. Along the lakeshore, giant sand dunes rise up from the water, creating a stunning location for hiking, water sports and a variety of outdoor recreation vehicles. What does it take to be a Master Bladesmith? Doug Noren would know. Every day he fires up the forge and brings hot metal to the anvil, melting, hammering, grinding and polishing…creating beautiful blades for exhibition and collection around the country. The Upper Peninsula is a wonderland of wilderness and waterfalls. The region’s colorful locations include Tahquamanon Falls, Copper Harbor and the Sault Locks where giant ore boats traverse the impassable St. Mary’s Falls. Mackinac Island is the jewel of the state. Automobiles are not allowed to intrude on the natural beauty of the island so transportation is by horse, bicycle or on foot. One of the best ways to see the historic sites is by horse drawn carriage. Visitors can watch live demonstrations at Fort Mackinac, which was created by British soldiers during the American Revolution, or experience the old world hospitality of the Grand Hotel.
