Depart from to Washington Plaza
10 Thomas Circle, NW
Washington, DC
Join Art Deco Weekend delegates and ADSW members on a charter bus ride from the Washington Plaza, the Art Deco Weekend headquarters in Washington, DC, to the Madison Towers Hotel, the 8th World Congress on Art Deco headquarters in New York City. We will stop in Menlo Park, New Jersey to visit the Edison Memorial Tower and Menlo Park Museum.
Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Tower
The Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Tower is a dramatic
Art Deco structure completed in 1938 to commemorate
the development of the incandescent light. It was
built on the exact spot where Edison had his laboratory,
the first modern research and development
center.
Menlo Park Museum
The Menlo Park Museum contains some of Edison's inventions and products from the Thomas A. Edison Company. While in Menlo Park, Edison received over 400 patents on items including the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the electric railroad car. His innovations on site included wireless transmissions (nearly 20 years before Marconi), the carbon button transmitter (drastic improvements to telegraph and telephone technology), and the discovery of the Edison Effect, the foundation for the field of electronics.
