Thomas Alva Edison Birthplace
Thomas Alva Edison Birthplace, Historic house museum in Milan, United States.
The two-story brick building features five bays, central entrance, stone lintels, two parlors, sitting room, kitchen, and two upstairs bedrooms.
Built in 1841 by Samuel Edison, the house witnessed the birth of inventor Thomas Edison in 1847 before the family relocated to Michigan in 1854.
The Edison Birthplace Association preserves this museum to honor the legacy of Thomas Edison, who obtained 1,093 patents during his lifetime.
The museum offers guided tours throughout the year, except during October when the main house undergoes maintenance but office remains accessible.
The sitting room contains the original bed where Nancy Elliott Edison gave birth to Thomas Edison on February 11, 1847.
