Built on the location of Thomas A. Edison's laboratory at Menlo Park, the museum showcases many of Thomas Edison's inventions including the phonograph, some light bulbs and a 1929 Edison 'Light-O-Matic' Radio.
The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park features the Menlo Park Museum and Edison Memorial Tower as a memorial to inventor and businessman Thomas Alva Edison, located in the Menlo Park section of Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The tower was dedicated on February 11, 1938, on what would have been the inventor's 91st birthday. The center is located at the 36-acre (15 ha) Edison State Park on Christie Street, the first street in the world to be lit up by a lightbulb, just off Lincoln Highway (Route 27), near the Metropark station of Amtrak and New Jersey Transit.
