According to records, the lot on which this house stands was bought in 1841 by Nancy Elliott Edison, mother of Thomas Alva Edison. Edison's parents sold the house in 1854, and the family moved to Port Huron, Michigan. In 1894, Edison's sister, Marion Edison Page, bought the house. Edison became the owner of his birthplace in 1906, and, on his last visit in 1923, he was shocked to find his old home still lighted by lamps and candles! After the death of Thomas A. Edison, opening his birthplace to the public as a memorial and museum became the private project of his wife, Mina Miller Edison, and their daughter, Mrs. John Eyre Sloane. The Edison Birthplace Museum opened on the centennial of the inventor's birth in 1947. Tour the birthplace of the world’s greatest inventor which has been restored and furnished as it was in 1847 with two of Edison’s great-great-grandnieces. More about the Thomas Edison Birthplace
