The estate is very pretty with diverse plants on the grounds. The buildings are interesting, too. The museum portion has lots to look at. Lots of information on things that Edison did and lots of surprises for me. There are also a variety of classes that you can sign up for. I've attended a couple and found them well presented and fun. They also have various shows (garden, antique boats, antique cars, T-Birds, etc) that are fun. Give it a try. Programs are presented in German and Spanish also.

We arrived early enough to beat the crowd. And boy there was a crowd when we left. Yes the fee is big but I have no problem paying a lot for the upkeep and preservation of historic sites. I did not mind just looking through the open windows. It keeps the artifacts safe and I could still take plenty of good pictures. The grounds are not as big as the map may indicate so much walking. Great gift shop. We purchased lots of books for my son who wants to be an inventor. Hard to find. The town needs more of those brown signs to indicate historic sites. We ended up over the river and very turned around. I will definitely go again when I have more time to stroll.

I had toured these estates 11 years ago when the Edison home was being restored. This time I was with my cousin and her husband from Minnesota. We enjoyed the tour and the greatly and would recommend ot to anyone of any age. These gentlemen were two giants of early America's industrial development.

The staff was welcoming, and the grounds pretty well kept. We were disappointed that the tours of both of the homes was limited to looking in an open window or door, and did not allow any entry in any home. Parking is also an adventure ( though free). Be prepared to walk a long way from the lot to the ticket building

We did not do the guided tour, we took the tour at our own leisure and enjoyed it very much. So much to see and very well maintained.
