A nostalgic yuletide season will greet visitors when they come to Thomas Edison's home in Llewellyn Park, New Jersey, during "Holidays at Glenmont." This family-friendly event is open now through Christmas Eve, offering a fun and educational outing for all, as Edison's workshop is also located on the estate. It's just one of a number of heritage homes in the area that are open annually for the holidays.
Glenmont, a stately turn-of-the-century estate, is decorated much as it was while the Edison family lived there. Favorite musical pieces will be playing and greenery and red poinsettias deck the mantles above the fireplaces. Staircases are ringed with fragrant greenery and red ribbon bows and wreaths hang in every window. In the Den, the majestic 10 foot tree will be lit and the presents underneath will be waiting as if the Edison children Madeleine, Theodore and Charles, will soon come running down the stairs from their rooms - after they've checked their stockings in the upstairs Living Room! Family china will be displayed on the Dining Room table and the scene will be completed with holiday cards that were received by the family.
The Edison home, Glenmont, is located on a fifteen-acre estate in Llewellyn Park, the country's first private residential community. Built in 1880, the twenty-nine room mansion contains the original furnishings and family items used by the Edisons. The estate grounds include gardens, a greenhouse, barn, and the poured concrete garage containing the family's automobiles. Thomas and Mina Edison are buried on the grounds of the estate.
Car passes and tour tickets must be purchased at the Laboratory Complex Visitor Center at 211 Main Street. "The important to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Preparation and expending our travel budget properly is a priority for most families. Minimizing spending and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal funds is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!..". Admission is $7.00, and includes the Glenmont Estate and the Laboratory Complex. Children under age 16 are free.
