Took our granddaugther on an outing and we all enjoyed this house. Lots of educational information and given in a relaxed presentation where you aren't rushed. We just happened to drive by and wasn't aware it was there. Should advertise it more.

I can't imagine how this was rated so high. T. Edison rented a room for a few months. The exhibits were period but not Edison's and most were broken. Really a waste of time and money.
Wife and I toured this place today after seeing the signs for years. $5 a person isn't bad at all. Few people know that Thomas Edison lived a year of his life in Louisville. Surprising how big his room was for that time. Many artifacts from his inventions are here and very few replicas. House is in great shape after...

It was a very informative site on Thomas Edison and his inventions. My son enjoyed the museum and was fascinated by the old phonographs and movie projectors. It was a nice glimpse into his life.
This is a small house, with loads of memorabilia and history. The tour guide was very informal and a little comical, but I enjoyed the tour.
Bring your children to visit and learn a little more about Thomas Edison. It's in an old section of Louisville and very down-home atmosphere. Come during Derby Festival week and watch the fireworks from this location
We went to an open house for all the general electric employees and we had a great time. Just seeing the old house and learning how all the things were discovered was an educational trip.
