Thomas Edison (1847-1931) is thought to have rented a room in this house on Washington Street during his 18-month stay in Louisville. As a young man he conducted experiments, often all night, then walked to his job as telegraph operator at 58 West Main Street. On exhibit are many of Edison's inventions, including cylinder and disc phonographs, incandescent bulbs and motion picture artifacts. Comments | Permalink
