The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park is a memorial to Thomas Edison. The tower was dedicated on February 11, 1938 on what would have been the inventor's 91st birthday. The tower marks the location of Edison's Menlo Park laboratory, the world's first organized research and development site. Menlo Park is known as the Birthplace of Recorded Sound (November 1877) and the site of the world's first practical incandescent lamp light bulb (October 1879). Edison and his staff would create 400 of his most important inventions here. He would later relocate to West Orange in 1884.
