Heritage tourism is one topic for which the township of Edison and its citizens should be proud. The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, where Edison established the world'sfirst research and development laboratory, attracts more than 10,000 visitors annuallyfrom around the world.
We are currently conducting the museum's first-ever renovationproject and this summer will get underway with the first-ever restoration of the beautifulArt Deco Edison Memorial Tower. The non-profit Edison Memorial Tower Corporation(EMTC) will involve the public in educational programs and celebrations for both ofthese accomplishments.
Individuals who want to become involved are invited to contactthe EMTC at 732-494-4194 or info@menloparkmuseum.org as it will indeed be a year tocelebrate Edison (the man and the township).Nancy L. ZerbePresidentEdison Memorial Tower CorporationMemberNew Jersey Heritage Tourism Task ForceEDISON
