My friend and I arrived a few minutes after the museum opened and enjoyed a tour of the office area filled with unusual contraptions. Each was explaind and all of our questions were expertly answered. Our curiosity was satisfied with the professional tour of Edison's birthplace. It was as complete a tour as i could have hoped for and I... More

I thought I knew all about Thomas Edison. Boy was I wrong! This tour was fascinating, and the history presented most impressively by a very young gal (high school?) I must say though, that this is not a tour for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.

We stopped about an hour before the museum was to close. The guide gave us a great tour and was well informed about the house and Thomas Edison.

Also, the staff seems gives the impression that the mere mention of this man's name should be enough to enthrall the visitor. Perhaps they should visit sites... More

We visited this national landmark, Thomas Edison's boyhood home, a couple of years ago during an Ohio weekend trip. We also went to Cedar Point (separate review) and the Football Hall of Fame. Mr. Edison's home, which was also his birthplace, is situated in a lovely, small "Americana" town not far from Sandusky. The tickets are very reasonable and we... More
