The Edison Birthplace Association, Inc., was formed to insure the permanent preservation of the birthplace. This private, non-profit organization owns and maintains the museum. The Edison Birthplace Association is run by a board of trustees that includes Robert K.L. Wheeler, President, and Laurence J. Russell, Curator.

We hope that many of our visitors feel that they would like to share in perpetuating the memory of Thomas Alva Edison by contributing to the Friends of the Edison Birthplace. All contributions are tax-deductible.
