Thomas Edison home, Ft. Myers Florida....

Went with the family to the Thomas Edison summer home in Fort Myers, Florida over Christmas break...haven't been there in 30 years when I was a surly pre-teen with my parents.    Now I can have some appreciation for everything in there.   In addition to his summer home, and amazing Laboratory, there's an impressive collection of early film equipment.   From Zoetropes to Kinetoscopes and Sceniscopes, and a bunch of other Scopes I cant remember, the Edison home collection has everything.     Its worth a drive down there to see some of the earliest Animation and Film tools ever made.   Its about 2 hours south of Ringling campus...
