OUR MISSION
PRESERVATION & LEGACY
Together, we help raise funds to preserve artifacts and share Edison’s ideas in his West Orange National Park.
The Thomas Edison National Historical Park receives federal funding, as do all the National Park Service locations. However, those funds do not cover all of the conservation work needed to extend the Edison legacy. That’s where we come in! Since 1984, our group has partnered with the National Historical Park to preserve, promote, and protect both the Edison Laboratory and his home, Glenmont, in West Orange, NJ.
