Did You Know?

A large birdfeeder on the lawn of Glenmont just outside the conservatory.

Mina Edison was an avid bird watcher.  She had many feeders and birdhouses around the grounds of Glenmont.  She even had a heated birdbath.  In the winter she flipped a switch in her bedroom that would turn on the birdbath in the yard below her window and it would melt the ice.
