Edison & Ford Winter Estate in Fort Myers

Right on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River near Fort Myers is one of the most interesting museums Florida has to offer: the winter residences of two geniuses. There is once the center of life of Thomas Alva Edison, who invented much more than just the light bulb. And next door lived the legendary Henry Ford, who saw the light of day as the son of a farmer and made it a dollar millionaire, manufacturer of automobiles and owner of the most modern factory in the world. To escape the winter, the two pioneers chose their estates near Fort Myers. Perhaps the most remarkable neighborhood in American history.
