Thomas Edison Home
Historical place museum
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Huge house with very unique architecture. I assumed Edison built it, but he actually purchased it. You have to ask for a pass while at the lab to see the house and then drive over, since it is in a gated community. Think about how cool it would be to be Edison's neighbor.

Park
๐Ÿ˜ The trails are okay for walking, but they are not well marked. The good news is you are never far from a street so as long as your phone is charged you should be able to use Google maps to get back to your car. Also in the fall, too many leaves and mud so please wear proper shoes.
