Edison National Historic Site
Edison's Home at Glenmont
New Jersey

The Edison home, Glenmont, offers insight into the private Edison. It is reminiscent of the stark separation between work and domestic life at the turn of the 19th century in America.

Glenmont is found on a 15.67 acre estate in Llewellyn Park, one of the first private residential communities in the United States. Built in 1880, the twenty-nine room brick-and-timber mansion contains the original furnishings and family items used by Thomas and Mina Edison, their family and their servants. The estate grounds include gardens, the family greenhouse and barn, and the poured cement garage containing the family's automobiles. The graves of Thomas and Mina Edison are on the grounds of the estate.

The inside of the house is also open for tours during certain days of the week.  Click here for tour hours
