World's Largest Light Bulb at night.

World's Largest Light Bulb

I don't recall when I learned that Edison, New Jersey was named for Thomas Edison. Today I had the opportunity to stop by and check out this monument with a giant light bulb on top. I only wish the museum was open so I could've gone inside the monument and the museum.

Great stop, free. In a neighborhood. There is a small visitors center.

Edison Tower

The tower will be re-dedicated in October 2015, after it was resurfaced with new paint and concrete added. Jack Stanley, former curator of the Edison Museum, is gone with a new non-profit in there.
