Spend a morning or afternoon exploring the estate of Thomas and Mina Edison called Glenmont. Thomas Edison purchased this grand estate for his new bride Mina Miller Edison in 1886. It is here that the Edisons raised their children, entertained friends, family and Edison business associates.  Spend some time wandering the grounds and see why Thomas and Mina loved their home.

*Visitors must stop at the visitor center at the Laboratory Complex (211 Main Street) to get a parking pass for Glenmont.
