If you ever get to Ft. Myers Florida check out the Edison Ford winter estates. Very beautiful. Thanks for taking us along

Edison and Ford had neighboring houses in Fort Myers Florida that are still there today that you can tour. Cars has rubber laboratory. It’s pretty fascinating. You should check it out.

I ll put it on my list for Florida stuff. Thanks

Interesting side-note to Edison's death - At the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, MI there is a nondescript glass display case. In it there is a jar with a lid on it, and it is labeled "Thomas Edison's Last Breath". Don't know if it was Henry himself, but apparently someone was waiting there with a jar by his mouth and captured his last breath and saved it for posterity.

A few years back, the Classic Car Club Of America held a grand event on the lawn. We displayed about 50 early classic automobiles, Packards, Duesenbergs, Pierce Arrows, Cadillacs, Rolls Royces ect, the estate gave us a big lunch and we did get to tour the inside of the house and garage. I took a picture of my 1930 Packard in front of the house and framed it. It's hanging on my office wall. It was a wonderful day.

Yes, I was at that event as well. Had my Bentley there. It was outstanding, we saw the entire house right up to the third floor.

Thanks so much for this video, Chris. Edison’s house, garage, green house and grounds are absolutely beautiful. You did a wonderful job on explaining the history. Although you couldn’t video inside the house, you were able to find pictures of the inside of the house. That’s good enough. Great job, Chris & much love to you.😀❤️

These old mansions in all their grandeur were hand crafted works of art. No electric tools back then. Build entirely with hand tools. Being built almost entirely of wood. They deteriorate quickly without regular upkeep and maintenance. Once rot sets in, it spreads quickly.

Thanks, Chris! What a beautiful home and property! Edison seems to have tinkered no matter where he happened for be!

I really enjoyed your coverage on the Edison home and all Thanks again

So very interesting. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into Edison's life. Your videos never disappoint. Thanks for your dedication to your craft, Chris

Enjoyed the tour. Thank you. Blessings from Michigan.

Next stop, Valley View in Phillipsburg for the Edison Houses Ingresoll-Rand built? And a quick stop on the Edison Concrete Mile in Stewartsville? Maybe a stop in at the Franklin-Sterling Hill Mining District near Ogdensburg, that Edison spent 10 year at? Always a great video Chris!! Safe travels along your journies!

Thank you, Chris! ❤

My father worked for the Edison Co. starting at age 15 in 1929 & was there when Thomas Edison passed away in 1931! He was an "office boy" in the Brooklyn NY hdqts. when his boss announced that Mr, Edison had died! He then asked all employees to bow their heads for one minute of prayer!/ When you realize that Edison essentially was the "Father of the Twentieth Century', one minute of silence was an insult to this genius!

Edison " Borrowed " a lot of ideas with his wealth. He was important but built into a myth of a man by himself.

His most valuable legacy is his working system which has proven to be the most efficient, a laboratory with many employees and many departments.

Lovely house still standing! Thanks for the history.

That was excellent! Loved that place! Thank you

Greetings from Edison, New Jersey Outstanding content

Thank you so much for the visit here. I have been to Henry Ford’s Home in Dearborn Michigan. It currently is not touring. Edison’s home is so beautiful. Thank your for the history and showing us around.

My grandmother grew up 2.5 miles from there in West Orange on Forest Hill Rd. Nice video.

The house and grounds are beautiful Chris, thank you! I remember the car vid you did in Detroit, I loved it!

Stunning architecture!

BRAVO!!!! THIS IS LEGIT!!!!!!

Building the garage out of poured concrete in 1908 would have required an on-site concrete plant as ready-mix trucks weren't invented until the 1920's.

Lookup the material called quicklime, it seems to have been around before quickcrete.

Great tour! Been there to visit the house. The house belonged to the Edison Industries for many years after Mrs. Edison’s death.

What a beautiful home he had

Thanks for taking us along,that was interesting. Not your fault,but too bad we couldn't see inside,bet it was beautiful!

Thank u for sharing this w us Chris. Very beautiful home.😊

Very cool! Thank you Chris

I would have been inclined to do a pose on that rail where Edison had his hand and stood! Great video. My Aunt lived down the street.

This is awesome! Have you thought about doing the "Pink House" in Woodstock, CT? I think you'd like that one too. Very interesting history and place.

Cool mansion. Alot of crazy angles. Engineer and builder fantasy home. I like local videos on history. I will have to check that out.

Beautiful house he had!

Hydronic heating which is what is in the green house is one of the most efficient ways to heat a home or building. The only thing that could be improved upon is the boiler.

Woop new video!! ❤

Excellent video! As always!

Sucks they wouldn't let you film inside Im sure the house is really something to see!

Thx Chris 🌺 most appreciated

Thank you for your Wonderful Historical Video!! 🌺

You should go to both Edison mines in Ogdensburg NJ, as well as Edison cement plant, New Village NJ to video the ruins there.

I worked maintenance at our copshome home years ago before I retired... Mansion here in town.. famous for the Oliver chilled plow.. who invented I guess a hardening process of the plowr could break up the soil and not wear out. And they did not allow photography in the house.. which is now a museum here in town

That's a dead ringer for the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World.

This is a very interesting video thank u 😊

Sad to see, for the lack of simple fresh paint, the house and other structures are allowed to deteriorate. The West Orange facilities are run by the Federal Parks Service and probably a little better funded.

Awesome place thanks chris

Windows and woodwork are not being cared for at all. Rotting away in a hurry, so sad.

Wow, so cool!

George was a real payne in the glass 😂

They better get some paint on that old wood weather doesn't care who owned it 100 years ago

So I'm guessing the kids weren't buried next to their parents... Great Tour thou!!

Do you know that at the greenfield museum that they have Edison last breath inside his work shop

interesting video

Wow 😊👍

Not a bad video mobile instinct. Now, where is the video you were enthusiastic about which I recommended highly? The 72-year-old Annie Laurie Hearin abducted from her home in the 1980s and her husband was the richest man in the state. They did a whole episode about this on Unsolved mysteries. I have every faith in you to do a video story about that poor woman being abducted and never found. A man was arrested by the police, put in court, convicted in front of a judge, he did 15 years in prison and still the poor woman was never found. Please do a video on this subject. That poor woman needs her story to be told.

Very cool

Some of the old vs new pics don't match exactly. In the first bit of the video there is no big chimney, then there is. The rotten wood stair railing doesn't match either

Not all "original"

Nice piece of history but the house seems unnecessarily complex. Perhaps the architect got lost in the design. It looks patched.

Thank you

Interesting and at the same time it does not look as though they take care of the buildings as they should. As far as taking pictures goes in my view that is a zero in my book.

Edison is genus i am not worthy !

This monochromatic color scheme for an obvious Victorian home frankly sucks, IMO!

Were you walking around with someone on the grounds? I ask this because at the 12 minute mark when you pause, someone clearly says It's beautiful. Woman's voice I think.

Edison stole half of his patent inventions from others. He also ruined Tesla's life. He was a vindictive old B
