Edison & Ford Winter Estate in Fort Myers

Directly on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River near Fort Myers lies one of the most interesting museums Florida has to offer: the winter residences of two geniuses. There's the former home of Thomas Alva Edison, who invented far more than just the lightbulb. Next door lived the legendary Henry Ford, who was born the son of a farmer and became a dollar millionaire, automobile manufacturer, and owner of the most modern factory in the world. To escape the winter, the two pioneers chose their estates near Fort Myers. This was perhaps the most remarkable neighborhood in American history.
