Something Different – Bottles Hooks and Gears
This past weekend I had the opportunity to tour the Thomas Edison National Historic Park in West Orange New Jersey.
During the self-guided tour of his laboratory complex you feel a part of the creativity and inventiveness that “changed our world forever”!

Did You Know?
Thomas Edison had 1093 patents and one of them was a way to preserve fruits and vegetables. Patent 248,431, issued March 18, 1883. It wasn’t just about phonographs, batteries, and movies.
I love workshops with overhead belt drives. They are such a brilliant idea.
I like some history. My favorite picture, the old books with letters…
Very odd . . . it looks a lot (almost exactly, but probably not) like Edison’s lab in Greenfield Village (Dearborn, MI).
Nice photos of the machines and old artifacts.
Beautiful photos. I love the photos of the bottles and the books.
I love places like this, they are so interesting and as I look at your photos I wonder what I would have done. I am inspired by your images and it has sent a new ball rolling in my head. Thanks Bonnie
Such cool repeating patterns you found and photographed. I really like how the necks of the bottles catches the light in your photo of the laboratory.
