Patti Recommends:
- Don't miss the Edison artifact museum! Among the items on display is Edison's prototype model of a Ford Model A and a collection of over 200 Edison phonographs.
- Be sure to have your picture taken under the Banyan tree. It is approximately 400 feet and was a gift to Mr. Edison from Harvey Firestone in 1925
