Edison and Ford Winter Estates

We visited Edison and Ford Winter Estates at Fort Myers and had guided tour there.
Edison’s home ( on top ) was built in 1886. It served as a winter retreat and place of relaxation until his death in 1931. Henry Ford, Edison's good friend, purchased the adjoining property in 1916. Ford stayed there only a few weeks yearly, in February on Edison’s birthday until Edison’s death in 1931.
