Glenmont - West Orange, New Jersey Editorial Image

Glenmont, the estate of Thomas and Mina Edison. Thomas Edison purchased this grand estate for his new bride, Mina Miller Edison, in 1886. It is here that the Edisons raised their children and entertained friends, family, and Edison business associates. The library over the entranceway was the `thought laboratory` for many ideas which later took shape at the Edison Laboratory in the valley below.
