👉 Metropark station in the context of Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Tower and Museum

The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park features the Menlo Park Museum and Edison Memorial Tower as a memorial to inventor and businessman Thomas Alva Edison, located in the Menlo Park section of Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The tower was dedicated on February 11, 1938, on what would have been the inventor's 91st birthday. The center is located at the 36-acre (15 ha) Edison State Park on Christie Street, the first street in the world to be lit up by a lightbulb, just off Lincoln Highway (Route 27), near the Metropark station of Amtrak and New Jersey Transit.

The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park is jointly administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Parks and Forestry, the Township of Edison, and the non-profit Edison Memorial Tower Corporation.
