Thomas A. Edison's Winter Estate

Thomas A. Edison's Winter Estate, 2350 McGregor Blvd., is where the inventor spent his “working vacations” from 1886 until his death in 1931. Here he experimented with perfecting the incandescent light bulb and searched for an American botanical source of rubber. He also cultivated a 14-acre botanical garden. The complex also includes a botanic research laboratory and a museum containing a large collection of Edison's inventions.
